[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1999225, member: 2736"] If you compare the 8 mm rem mag to the 338 Win Mag the 8mm will outperform the 338 wm In velocity @ less pressure and with a 200 grain bullet, the ballistic coefficient of the 8mm will be better because of it's diameter to length if the same brand and style of bullets are used. Lack of different bullets has been the downfall of many great cartridges, but now that we have more bullets and many powder choices, the 8 mm Rem has more potential. Many of the old cartridges have a new lease on life with all of the improvements in components today. If you feel like you need more and still have the 8 mm rem, all you have to do Is AI it and a 200 grain bullet at 3,000 becomes a 200 grain bullet at 3150. placing it with the big boys. And if you are into designer names you can call it a "SUPER 8" or something catchy. :cool: Just saying don't count the old guys out. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
