Somebody mentioned 30-06? :) Grizzly, black bear, elk, mule deer, whitetail, pronghorn, wolf and probably something I'm forgetting... -

8MMX57JS replied to the thread Experiences with 8MM's.No pressure sign, my load data book says its around 56,000 psi which is nothing for a modern rifle. I've worked up loads up to an approx...
