To "ancestor" close to down under. Yes some mfg. do list the 8mm-06 - but with only their bullets and you'll notice only a few of the popular powders available, Do I need a can of every propellent ?...

I have sierra,speer,hornaday manuals and have looked at the Nosler manual - all seem to agree with me when I check recommened loads for the 8mm-06 and then look at loads for 30-06-all seem to fall...
just started loading for 8-06 and find very little published info for data-I understand that wildcats won't have much factory data and I'm thinking that 30-06 starting loads for same bullet weight...
I just got off the phone with Mike of Hogdon's and he gave an ok to sub H4350 instead of IMR 4350- just start with the starting loads and work up, makes sense as H4350 is just a little slower that...
thanks for the input-I'm going to ask hogdon's their thoughts

Anyone know if h4350 can be substituded for imr 4350 using the same grain weight as suggested loads in speer-sierra and hornaday manuals??-I'm reloading 8mm-06 and find plenty of loads using imr 4350...
