Hello
I am ready to load 8x50r Austrian for an 88/90 Mannlicher rifle and an M95 Mannlicher carbine. I have the correct size bullets, dies, and brass. I have found only one source of published reloading data from "Cartridges of the World". It only lists data for three bullet weights using IMR 3031 and states the wedge lock rifles should have a lighter load due to lock strength. I do not have IMR 3031, but I already have 2 lb of Accurate 4350. I see on my 8x50r Lebel Lee die set that they provide loading data for accurate 4350 using different bullet weights. Is the 8x50r Lebel close enough to the 8x50r Austrian to use this data as a starting point for loading with Accurate 4350?
Thank you
Scotty
