Default 8mm mauser

Anybody ever reload for the 8mm mauser? I have a co-worker that doesnt know anything about anything about hunting or reloading and insists that this old piece of junk rifle is the most amazing thing. He has a hard time finding ammo so he wanted to reload the old brass. I could barely find a recipie and he didnt get the powder i told him to. ANyway, We went ahead and found something close online. 46 grains of winchester 748 with some sierra spitzer 175 grain. The site said it was good for 2400 fps. He says he is gonna use this for elk. I just dont feel right about loading for a junk rifle with a half @$$ recipie. Any opinions or known recipies? EJ
