Officially: the normal 8x57IS. But that was 110 years ago! If it was mine, I would do the same as for any rifle of that age - start at the bottom end of whatever your reloading manual advises. Full-power military loads are not necessary for accuracy, and harder on the rifle, your shoulder and your wallet. Not that I think it will go to pieces, but why hammer the locking lugs and bearing surfaces harder than necessary?
