I am looking for some loads for my 8X57 (M48) using the Remington 185gr bullet. Idealy I would like to find a nice load that uses surplus powder.

I've been using 46gr W748 behind the Remington 185 and it shoots great in my 98 which has an excellent bore. 1 - 1 1/2 inch groups at 100yds if I do my part. Doesn't beat you up and has good cold barrel accuracy. Will probably hunt with this one this coming season.

Jim B: if your not looking for powerhouse stuff these have worked well for me over the last decade or so.
