8x56r

I have a load here for 8X56R 205grain jacketed softpoint. 43.5 grains of IMR 3031.
before I use it can anybody give me some feedback on this load. Rifle is M-95 carbine.

sounds okay, i'd back it down to about 40.0 to start, and work with it.

Thanks runfiverun

These are my results fired in a Budapest M95 carbine with a superb condition barrel.

Brass used: Privi from Graffs
Primers = Wolf LG

.330 Hornady 205 grain bullet 41.6 grains IMR 3031 @ 2189 fps
Standard deviation = 59 fps.

.329 LEEcast 205 grain bullet 43 grains IMR 8208-XBR @ 2146 fps
Standard deviation = 49 fps.

I tried a couple of other powders, but have settled on these two as my accuracy loads. Grouping averages 1.75" for each at 50 yds.
