And what about Speer HOT CORE?

[577-450]

I use 350 gr hot core I my 45-70 they work great. I shot a 4 point mule deer last year with it.

I have some 220gr'ers For my 35 Rem loaded up but have yet to use any. From the sounds of it I will like them a lot!

 

[Slooshark1]

I shot my bear with a 400gr out of my .45-70 and he dropped on the spot and didn't even kick.

I think they'd be just about perfect in the 8x57.

Hot Cors have been a standard for eons. Target bullets they ain't, but they are excellent hunting bullets.
You have to work up the load fgor your rifle. No two, even identical rifles with consecutive S/N's will shoot the same ammo the same way. So nobody else's "recipe" will work the same way in your rifle.

Roger that. Just need a few ideas to start with. Now just need to wait for some retailers to get some powder and i ll be able to start.

Cup and core bullets, .358 Win, love of pump action rifles.....

Actually, my current 358 is a SS 700 BDL that Bevan King did for me, but I have had a 358 in a 760 in times past. I left it in the Yukon on my first trip there with a fellow who wanted it for his son.

Are you denying your love of pump action rifles?

While I do have one 760 still, I do admit to spending a lot more time shooting bolt guns.

 

[SHELL SHUCKER]

I'd be quite content with and old 170 Savage pump in .35 Remington. Neat little rifles,
but scarce these days.

Now that's beginning to look a lot like my loading bench - 250 SpeerHCs have been a staple thru my decades of hunting fun. Never without them to load so far.

Sunray u may want to research Ken Waters Pet Loads & then rethink your point of view .

I like the hot-cor just fine. I

I've used them a fair amount in several cartridges and never had a problem with them.

Unless the OP's 8x57 just hates them for some reason, I see no reason to look for a fancier and much more expensive bullet.

They shoot really well in my 8X57 and 8mm/06.
Killed my first Moose in 1963 with an 8X57 loaded with the 170 Speer, one shot, one nice Moose...

Everyone knows that the pre-64 moose are not the same as the post-64 versions.

Not quite "Euro Fudd" as a 9.3. I see it more as a "New World Fudd".
