I dont have a big reloading manual. Just the one that came with my kit and I shoot 243 and 30-06 so they are covered in the little manual and I dont need a big thick one. Anyway, I do know a lot of 8mm are accureate but this one literally has a hard time keeping 6 inches at 100 yards. You can take a fresh bullet and stick it in the end of the barrell. This is worn out! So, I am not disrespecting the 8mm, merely this particular rifle and the bone head shooting it. I appreciate the info. Thanks, EJ
