Max Loads for 8 mm and 416 rem mag

[lsjonsson]

I have been helped by a friend to take these charges by using the quick load program. Me and my friend started to load these cartridges 3 gr below peak load. These charges are made on the Swift A-Frame and Wood Leigh bullets. I have test fired these charges also.


Can I hear your arguments on this point of view on the copper bullets. Are There Any of you who Have Such experience???

I hope you understand my translation from Swedish to English.

dont know about you but i doubt to many shoot a 8mm mag enough to wear out a barrel with any load or bullet. I think your shoulder would need work before the gun.

Can you explain a little clearer with what you mean? I did not understand the entire contents of the text and I could not find any good translation of those words either.

I own an 8mag and its just not a gun im going to go out and shoot 200 rounds a day out of. For the most part i shoot it to work up loads and then it sits until i hunt with it. Shooting one like that your never going to wear a barrel out. Now something like a 223 or 22250 that is taken prarie dog hunting and gets a couple hundred rounds a day shot out of it might someday need to be rebarreled. But to be honest ive never worn a barrel out in any rifle. What i meant to say is your shoulder takes enough of a pounding shooting full power 8mag ammo that it keeps most of us from shooting one enough to actually wear it out.

Hi!

Ok! It neither do I! I also have a Husqvarna 1900 in caliber 308 Win that I have to scorer at the shooting range. 8mm rem mag, I only have to hunt and still have no game has been lost to me with the caliber. I have also shot with the +300 m on the moose and it has fallen.
Ok! I have not worn out a barrel for any gun. Ok! Now I understand what you mean.
