    try nitroexpress Forums.NitroExpress.com there will probably be something in the reloading section. You need to join to use the search function though

    Seems to be quite a powerhouse! Few bits on the net including The 8x68S RWS
    If you have one and wish to load for it there are also other bits on the net as well as Chuckhawks stuff.
    My Handloaders Manual Of Cartridge Conversions book lists it as 8x69(S) Magnum and a load of 70.0gr IMR4350 behind a RN 170gr projectile for 3000fps.

    Nick Harvey did a report on the calibre a few years ago. Will try to find and send on.
