[QUOTE="Steve Shelp, post: 184557, member: 22"] 8x57JS, I have reloaded for my neighbor using the 185gr Rem Core-Lokts in htis caliber. I had never loaded for the case before so I used the accuracy/hunting load recommendation out of the latest Sierra loading manuals. They recommended IMR4064 powder so that is where I started. I never had to try another powder because it shot so good. Work up your load using standard loading/pressure practices but here is the compenents we ended up using for very good accuracy: IMR4064 (about 2 grs under max) Win LR primers Remington Cases 185gr Rem C-L bullets FL resized Seating depth was into the lands approx .005" so the bullet wouldn't stick in the lands when pulled back out of the chamber. Be careful with this. With the more blunt nose on the Core-Lokt bullets it doesn't take much to have them stick. FYI: The recommended accuracy/hunting loads in the Sierra manuals are usually a really good place to start. I've seen them work in more than 1 more caliber and bullet weight. Steve [/QUOTE]
