    8mm Lebel Rifle load

    Anyone have a safe start load in 2208 / 2206h. ?
    180 gr projectile.
    Cheers
    He nui to ngaromanga, he iti to putanga.

    You depart with mighty boasts, but you come back having done little.
    Sounds like a typical hunting trip !

    Cartridges of the World give max loads of 49 grains of 4895 with the 170 grain and 45 grains with the 198 grain for 2,570 and 2,450 fps respectively. I would probably start at 38 grains (80% of 48 grains an interpolated load) or less of AR2206H with the 180 grain and work up if you want to. Get someone to check the rifle for you first.
