[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 2202623, member: 26077"] The 8x57 was a very proficient sniper round during the second world war. It will make a perfectly serviceable longer range hunting rifle with good reloads. Stick to 160 or 170 grain, anything heavier, the extra B.C. is more than offset by the lower velcoity. I shoot my 7x57 and 7x64 to 800 yards wtih no problems at all. Loaded with Hornady 154 BT or 162 BT, cup and core bullets. The cup and core perform perfectly from 50 yards to 800 on game. Never shot anything further than that with one.. [/QUOTE]
