[QUOTE="gohring3006, post: 1029739, member: 78762"] Well said benchracer, I love shooting an old 98 but the ballistics are not there. I'm at work and I'm not sure if I can even find ballistics on the 8×57 compared to even the .308 let alone the 30-06. Hopefully someone can post this we need something like a 180- 200gr bullet comparison. BC's drop, wind drift and energy levels at 1000yards. You will see very quickly why the .30 cals are much better than the light weight 8mm bullets based on the "standard" bolt face cartridges. Of Mauser's design. Its nothing against the 8×57 its just like asking the 30-30 win. to be a 600 yard deer gun.. [/QUOTE]
