    Load data duplicates M80 load.

    Just getting back into reloading and have yet to purchase new books.
    I need load data that duplicates the NATO M80 round. My BM59 requires that load to function properly. Just as one doesn’t use hot loads in an M1 Garand one doesn’t use loads in a BM59 that could damage the operating rod. I will be using PMC brass that was originally loaded for military usage. Commercial brass is softer than military brass and while it will function, one risks pulling the rim off when ejection occurs.
    Recommendations for a good reloading manual with military loads.
    Thank You in advance.

    The military powder used is WC846. You'll have to play with the load a little bit, but BLC2 or Win 748 will give similar results.
