Looking for a 8x57 Mauser cast load

[victor]

I am wanting to start reloading for my M48 Yugo Mauser. I have the Lee 175gr gas check mold and wondered if anyone had any load data. I am looking more for accuracy than velocity.

Welcome to the Guide, Victor.

Good mould. I have had pretty good accuracy with it.

This formula will work with Extruded (IMR) and Flake (Alliant) powders. NEVER use it with ball powders.

Jacketed Max - Jacketed Start = Difference
Jacketed Start - Difference = Cast Start

I work up from Start in full grain increments. I have had best luck with IMR 4895, 3031, and RL7.

For strictly target loads, many have good luck with Alliant pistol powders. PM me an email address if you want more data and I will send you a Word .doc of an article by C.E. Harris that has a lot of good info. I have posted it here before, but can't remember when/where or I would post the link.

Accuracy is up to your rifle.

start at bout 25 grs of the 4895.
the lyman cast bullet book has good data.
