[QUOTE="Deleted member 118572, post: 2202703"] Great cartridge. "During the Second World War (1939-1945) the German military changed the 7,9Smm load back in order to utilize a heavy projectile. The new 197 grain pointed projectile featured a streamlined boattail having a BC of .547 over the previous 154 grain projectile’s BC of .321. Chamber pressure was around 45,500psi over the previous loading’s pressure of 42,700psi with the 197 grain bullet giving a muzzle velocity of 2500fps in the K98k. The new load was re-designated 7,9mmsS, sS standing for schweres Spitzgeschoss meaning heavy pointed bullet. This load produced more desirable extended range performance while producing deeper penetration through light armor in comparison to the 154 grain loading." I would rechamber to 8mm-06 IMP and run pressures up to modern levels with heavy VLD bullets.. It would be a "long range wonder". [/QUOTE]
