"Mountain" 8x57 load

[kjohn]

I have smoked a fair number of whitetail younger bucks with these. Note the $12.95 price!!

Simply - Sierra 8mm bullets 150gr Spitzer. Bought these a good many years ago from K&M Shooting shop, north of Moosomin, SK. Ken & Marshall McLeod. Great place, closed up years back.

Sierra 8MM 175 GR SPT PRO-HUNTER SKU:2410 That's my choice for your application. ​

Everything up to 165 grains is 30.-06 for me.

The 7.92x 57 will cover everything from that to roughly 200 grains.

After that I use different calibres...

Hahaha....not the loads above but here's a 195gr interlock recovered from a bull this year. Starting out at 2600 fps and a 200 yard shot. Double lung/ribs and found on the off side. Very nice expansion and weight retention. Will have to weigh when I get the time.
