Thread: 8mm Lebel Rifle load

Hi, Ive just started to reload some 8mm for my Lebel. Im using 44grains of 2206H with 180 gram projectiles . I think is a safe area yto start . My issue is that OAL varys by nearly 10mm . If I use 75mm there is not enough projectile in the shell . 65.5mm from other sites seems too deep . Ive thinking in the middle so 70mm which is to the bottom of the neck / top of shoulder . Can anyone please tell me Im on the right track or not ? much appreciation in advance .
