    duplicate load for 8mm mauser

    Looking for a source to duplicate a 8mm load for a yugo mauser was wondering just weight these rifles want to shoot, as the loads I have found are really lightweight uo to heavyweight bullets. Also wondering what bullet weight the zrak scope is calibrated to?

    cheers

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Not sure on the Yugoicon load specifically, if there was one, but the Germanicon WW2 load for the 8mm was a 196grain FMJ running along at around 2500-2600 FPS. I use the Hornady 195 grain bullet with 47gr of IMR4064 to approximate it. Good accurate load. Not sure on the bullet weight for the zrak scope but it was likely 196gr.
