Experiences with 8MM's

[JD338]

Looks like a nice easy load. Case life should be really good too.

Gotta love it when your first starting load during development starts off like this. Shot two groups to confirm. 1st group was 0.6" for 3 shots, 2nd group was 0.575" for 3 shots. Velocity on the lower end for a 160gr Fox Copper.

Beautiful groups just getting started!

Went out looking for a bear but ended up connecting with a wolf at 130 yards on the move and a coyote at 185 yards. The 8x57 170gr sst did quick work putting them down. The coyote was a hard quartering shot, bullet entered the base of the neck and exited the skull.

This wolf came out of water hole where a pack did kill two cows.....a good wolf is a dead wolf.

Excellent work, always good to thin out the wolves and coyotes!

Good shooting. Congratulations.

It is always a mark of excellence when dropping a wolf and/or a coyote. A double any day is well worth the effort.

Welcome to the frolicking fun!
I’m a fan of bigger bullets but went the .338 route due to availability here in the lower 48. You have some very nice samples of what the 8mm in it’s variant cartridges can accomplish.
