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?

For the '96 action? Speer has some great data, very low psi. The loads are intended for '95 action, same action, so they are perfect. What powders do you have?
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?

Of those listed, I would try 4064 first. 4895 would also be a good candidate.
