Can anyone suggest a powder for loading the 8x57 Mauser w/ 200 grain bullets that will keep presures low but still have a little more velocity than a .35 Remington or other such similar cartridges?

Yeah, it is for the 96 action. The powders I currently have on hand are RL 19, RL 15, RL 22, 3031, 4064, Varget, H4831, IMR4831, H380, and BL-C2. Which one of these do you think will give the lowest pressures w/ the 170 and 200 grain bullets?

BTW, I only paid $250 for the Husky M648 in 8x57.
