8mm Eye Candy

[RockyMtnMT]

This is for Swamplord and any or you other guys that want a great 8mm projectile. This bullet is designed for 9" twist. It is pictured next to a 25-06 case just to give it some relative size.http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=58763&stc=1&d=1457624506

Oh yeah gun)

What is that, about 1.75"
How heavy?

I have an 8mm Rem Mag and I've been bugging Swamplord and others to death with questions about 8mm wildcats.
So yeah, I'm interested.

The 8mm is 1.85" long and weighs in at 249 grains

Thanks.
Hey, I wasn't far off for just eyeballing the pic and holding calipers up to my 25-06

When will your website be up and running?

 

[HammerB1]

Our website is close. We are working on credit card processer and shipping program. It has taken a lot longer than we had expected.
A safe guess is a week.

I have been doing a little research on 8mm 9 - twist barrels. Looks like about the only way to get a 9 twist is to have it cut-rifled. Anyone know of a button pulled barrel company that has a 9 - twist available?

Thanks. Yes they do. I was just doing some researching to justify spending time on bullets for
this caliber and twist. After programming and cutting one, not sure why it hasn't caught on here.
Probably because of the popularity of the 338??

Well hey ! That is most awesome ! You guys certainly work fast and your efforts are appreciated, can't wait to try some out, I have a 9 tw PacNor barrel on hand and the 8mm Vampyre project is on track, also know another feller with a 8mm Bullwinkle (8mm/500 AHR) with a 9 tw PacNor barreled rifled all set up to go, (gonna have to share this bit of info with the crew at WCCR on FB)

Thanks for the photo of bullet, gonna post it up and see what the fellas think.....

I've always liked 8mm. 6mm & 7mm has done great but I think 8mm hasn't because lack of high BC bullets. I think a 8mm bullet weighing about 265gr-270gr (jacketed bullet) with proper nose cone and tail would be wonderful.

I thought Benchmark was button-pulled, and they will do 8mm-9tw. (?)

I just looked at Benchmark site and they don't show an 8mm at all.
