Extra nice….

…..and a just about perfect cartridge for overall use.

I have a custom Encore barrel in 8x57R that I need to start playing with more. Not sure why the 8mm Mauser round hasn’t ever caught on here in the States, it is sure wildly popular in Europe and basically capable of .30-06 performance. It carries a heavier bullet a bit easier too.

I want to try using a couple of different cast bullet molds I have here, it seems to me it is a great candidate for powder coated projectiles!

Having the rimmed version in a single shot is a heck of an advantage in my opinion!
