[QUOTE="Varberger757, post: 1025927, member: 66992"] You are writing and telling a lot, a lot of crap! I’m German by origin and hunt, shoot actively since 1976 both in my home country and since 1999 also in Norway and Sweden. I killed, as @Wildrose would say “literally spoken piles of game”. I doubt that you’re an experienced hunter at all, I doubt that you ever did pass the examine for the German Jagdschein (hunting licence). Everything you have written so far was never ever related to hunting just phrases! Otherwise, you would know what your fellow hunters are using in calibres and rifles! Another explanation might be that no one likes you, and you never are invited … It seems that you are compensating for your lack of knowledge/experience by using second-hand experience. Intense use of Google and/or ballistic tables may help a while, but it’ll come to an end one day! My whole life I’ve been extraordinary passionate concerning hunting and shooting and know pretty much about it both theoretically and practically. Not to mention the 2 years of active military service during the Cold War in the early 1980’ which were very helpful as well. Therefore, it is new to me that projectiles like the Nosler AB, Sierra Game King, Swift Scirocco II, Brenneke TOG, Nosler CC, Hornady BT - HP etc. have a fundamental lack of BC … all available in 8mmS …! 8x57IS is no cartridge for LRH as much as the 308W and 30-06 whatever that implicates. The OP already knows about it. However, you should never try again to make false claims about a European or German calibre. About its characteristics and how common and/or widespread it is! [FONT="]BTW, the Americans don’t know (how could they?) that you have to pass an additional examine in Germany to get the permit for reloading as well (Sprengstoffschein), but I do …!
