Another 8x57 Load Experiment

[denton]

We finally got a semi-sunny afternoon, that let me test another 8x57 load.

In my particular gun, 52 grains of Varget, 200 grain Speer bullets, and CCI 200 primer give me 2567 fps and 54.8 KPSI peak, with a 62 F ambient temperature. I could probably go up another half grain, for an even 2600 fps, and not worry about it. That would put it at about 56.3 KPSI.

Your results, of course, will differ.
