I handload for the 8mm Mauser a lot and I REALLY like the 220-grain Nosler Ballastic Tips. The grain size you use depends on the individual rifle. You need to tinker a bit and find which kind of food your rifles prefers. It can make a big difference.

For example, I have an Ishapore Enfield .308. When I switched from 150-grain to 180-grain the group sized dropped from about five inches to less than two inches. I can' t use my Mauser as an example cause that pet shoots everything gooooodddd.

Gives you an excuse to spend a whole day at the range with a handheld loading press, building and testing rounds using three or four or five or six different types and sizes of bullets.
