Widener's in Johnson City, Tennessee has the 180 grain Remington bullet which I have found to be accurate in my model 24/47 mauser. I use the 170 grain Speer for hunting though. 0 -
I got about 2000 196gr pills, copper jacket, lead-filled steel subcore. Check with Speer too

Not sure on 180 gr. pills, but Remington's 185 (actually made for the rem. 8mm mag) do fine for me. Not the most accurate bullet, but well worth their cost.... I get about 4" at 100 y with 42gr of 4064.

jonk's right on the REmingtons, they are 185 grain and not 180 grain as I first stated. Must have been having a "senior mement" or just plain brain dead there. I use military surplus 852+ powder with them and get around 2"(more on some days-les on others). I haven"t chronographed them as yet but my estimate would be around the 2600+/- fps. range. They make great range rounds to have fun with. 0 -
I've shot the Nosler 180's and bought Greek Olympic 180 gr. FMJ.
The Noslers are BT's and extremely accurate. The Olympic was okay for accuracy and not really strong on velocity I want to say around 2500-2600.
For other loads I have used Sierra and Hornady 150's, Hornady 170's Sierra 200's and Speer 200's. I am waiting to load up my 200 gr. Accubonds. The 8mm is a fantastic cartridge. I would take it anywhere and hunt anything with it. -Good luck
