Didn't the factory 8x56R run a 205 gr. about 2050fps?
found this:

5th load down, is interesting.

1938 nazi marked surplus ammo (2337 fps)

.330 Hornady 205 grain bullet (Graf and Sons) 44 gr IMR 4064, (2083 fps)

.330 Hornady 205 grain bullet 45.9 IMR 4895 (2168 fps)

.330 Hornady 205 grain bullet 46 grains Varget. (2155 fps)

.330 Hornady 205 grain bullet 47 grains IMR 3031. (2355 fps) Will never exceed.

.329 Bufallo 150 grain spire point 47 grains IMR 3031. (2489 fps) Will never exceed.

.329 Bufallo 150 spire point 46 grains Varget (2168 fps)

.329 Bufallo 150 spire point 44 grains IMR 4064. (2150 fps)

Good to know those projectiles exist. Might be useful.

Needed a minimum 225 gr .330 projectile, 2900 ft lbs.

I doubt a 8x56R could achieve this.

Funny comments are that a 8x50R shoots a 244 gr projectile at 2000 fps?

But the more powerful 8x56R newer cartridge shoots a lighter 205 gr at also 2000 fps. ???
