The std. coal for 8x68s is is 3.425"/87mm. Don't know about the Silver Tip but figuring 180gr Nosler Ballistic Tip and Somchem 365 I would start around 67.0grs/4.374g and work up to around 70.0-71.0grs/4.536-4.601g of powder. This is not a powder I have experience with so be cautious. I used a computer program to model this load range. Also there is a tread about the 8X68s on this sight with a lot of guys who use Somchem powder who might be able to help. I think it is called cartridges up to .375.
