    Not I, but welcome to the Guide.

    I don't load it but, I do have a new set of RCBS dies and there is no relief cut in the sizer die mouth for a belt like the 8MM Remington Magnum has. Are you sure they are the same? COW has them listed separately.

    wasn't sure if they were the same case or if they were loaded to the same pressures.
    if they were similar,and used at the same pressures you could extrapolate data and get an idea where to start.
    finding tested data is always the best thing to do, but soometimes you have to make an educated conservative estimate and work from there.
