Re: 8X64S

Maybe a little off topic, but have any of you fellows found a good load for the 8x64S? I have a very good condition BRNO ZG-47 in same, and I am trying to use 200 gr Nosler Accubonds and Vitivouri (sp) 150 and 160 powders. With the V-150 at 54 gr I am getting about 2560 ft/s but with very hard bolt lift.

With 58 gr V-160, I am about 2400 ft/s with no stickiness but lousy velocities - I may as well use my 8x57... I would hope that I can get to above 2600 ft/s with 200 gr bullets in an 8x64 - maybe I am wrong.

I am about to try RL-15, but thought I would ask here as someone may have gone down this road.
