8x57, 220 gr. Core Lokts
« on: September 20, 2008, 08:36:37 AM »
I acquired a box of Rem. 220 gr. core lokts. Any one ever loaded these up for the 8x57? I've tried 42 grs. of RL15, got about a 6" group. Thinking of trying some RL 19.

Try 4350.  Start at 44 gr and work up in .5 gr increments untill you hit 2350-2400 fps.

I have had the best results with rl15 with the 220's. Better velocity than rl19.
