[QUOTE="WSmitty01, post: 169724, member: 3618"] Years ago, when it first came out,I had an 8mm Rem Mag built on a Ruger #1 action. I won't get into the time and expense that project took, but I came to really enjoy shooting it and killed 2 elk with authority at distances that I consider long at the time (both at 400 yds +). I still have all of my brass and got to thinking of having a barrel for my Stevens 200 300 mag made. There are some better calibers out there I know, but the bullet selection for 8mm just keeps getting better and better. I could have it made into a 338/8mm for the heavier bullets and propably duplicate the 340 Weatherby ballistics, or keep it in 8mm mag. There isn't that much of a difference than the 300 I already have. Any thoughts on the project? I think the 8mm was/is still a very good caliber that was just not ready for it's time! [/QUOTE]
