Well I'm going to give them a try.
We resized them from .339 to .323 for the 8mm rem mag. They come out a little longer then a 200 gr .323 / 8mm sierra bullet( ???? ).
I'm trying them with a low side load the same As I'm shooting now with an 8mm 200 gr bullet and RL 26.
IF all goes well I'm thinking about a Speer Bullets 338 Caliber (338 Diameter) 225 Grain Spitzer Boat Tail. 
338 I can find all over 8mm's not so much.Thumbs UpThumbs Down

That could happen I don't know.
With the powder I tried the shot about the same as the 200 gr Noslers I have, no were as good as the 200 Barnes.Confused
I guess in a pinch they would work, but I would have to drop the powder load. At what I run the Noslers and Barnes it's a 5" group at 100 and the slower version of only 82 grains it is an inch.
