[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 908857, member: 11717"] I like the 8x68S case, however, there are no LR bullets available in 8mm that I am aware of. Not one. By LR bullet, I mean one with a high BC. The best available is is the 220 Sierra Game King with a listed BC of .521 which is probably exaggerated. Probably very capable out to 600 yds or so. It would be an excellent short to mid range cartridge. You will notice that the 8mm's are not mentioned here in the Long Range forums. that is because there are no LR bullets available in the cal. Also, if you are concerned about the recoil of a 7mm RM, i assure you, the 8x68S will have greater recoil, especially if you shoot 220 gr bullets out of it. If you can have it necked down to 30 cal and get custom dies for it, you are very close to a 300 WM with a much better selection of LR bullets. But the 300 WM would be much less costly, not requiring any special effort or dies. [/QUOTE]
