Hi fella's.

I was wondering if any of you have any personal load data for the 8x68 you would share with me ?.

Also,Does anyone own a Vihtavouri reloading manual 3rd edition ?.If so could you give me the 8x68 loads for the 187 grain & heavier, projectiles please.

Cheers Neale.

The reason is they stopped printing data for the 8x68s after the 3rd edition.
Unless I am looking in the wrong place !!.

You've got to love Jagen Weltweit load tests - alot of other (ahem! - US) gun mags could learn from them! 16 different loads in one article compared to the usual 3!
