Load data S&B bullets .308W & 8mm Mauser

[LEX]

Hi there,

Does someone have load data for S&B bullets? 

I'm looking for data to use in .308W :  S&B bullets 180grs FMJ (item No. 2957)  and powder VV N150. 

Also data for 8mm Mauser : S&B bullets 196grs FMJ (item No. 2910) and powder VV N540 or VV N150. 

Can't seem to find load data on the internet for these S&B bullets. 

Thanks guys!

Just use any 180 or 196 grain data. As always use starting charges and work up.~Andrew

Thanks Andrew. I was planning on doing so, but I'm searching for some more specific data. Somebody who uses these types of bullets with VV powder. 

Speed data if possible.

Someone once told me that, all thing being equal (bullet construction) "Ejecta is Ejecta", or, the laws of internal ballistics will be governed by bullet weight, not make. The Hornady manual will list nine different bullets of similar or same weight for a given set of Data. Lee lists only bullet weights. I shoot 196 grain bullets in my Husqvarna 8x57. I used generic 200 grain data and worked from there with great success. It is one of my favorite rifle/load combinations. I  received some prototype bullets to test last year and there was no data specifically for it. (nor is there now) There was data for similar weight bullets and I ran with that.  This is how it works in reloading sometimes. ~Andrew
