[QUOTE=".358 NM, post: 1028031, member: 86757"] One option is loading a lighter bullet aster, or a heavy well made bullet a bit harder to compensate for it . IE, remaking the MG loads for the 8mm, and the Ss, Schweres Spitzgeschoss. I have used my 8mm on ranges up to 500 meters, not long range ones. But seeing the ammo impacting on that range through spotter scope surely make it better than 6,5 and others. The down range impact of it have to be seen to belive it . 13 gram is a good way to go for it , with sierra Match king bullet that work great or 200 Accubond is one way to go. I have shot mostly HMG load and it is surprising in both ways of the rifle. however i think it offers more importance in using it , as it is very versatile round and it pleases a Norwegian / Preussian mix as i am .
