[QUOTE="Varberger757, post: 885238, member: 66992"] If I were you, I would stick to 8mm and get your gun upgraded. You won't regret it! :) 8mm RM is a fantastic round for almost all hunting purposes from deer size to moose including dangerous game (brown bear). With the 8mm RM you’ll be even allowed to hunt the BIG FIVE in Central Africa! Don’t go for the 7mm or 30’ calibres almost anyone owns. BTW, 7 STW is just a necked down 7mm on the 8mm RM as parent case… :D I don’t know on which distances you want to hunt, but out to 1K won’t be a problem with 8mm RM. In my opinion long enough to start with. You won't regret it! [B]Sooner[/B] or later there will be a 8mm bullet on the market for the special purpose of LRH. Barrels in 323’ are made by almost every good and well-known barrel maker in the US or Europe. From my point of view you should go either for the Krieger or Lothar Walther. gun) [/QUOTE]
