.308 Winchester: the cartridge that all other calibers want to be. 8mm Mauser: the cartridge that .308 Winchester wished it could be

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

I think the answer to it now is the 6.5 Creed |

Yeah, I'd have a waist of money for little or no gain. |

It's settled 6.5 Creedmoor.
BF is old and so is the 8MM. In deference to our " RD " 7MM Winkle is OK also! 👍👍👍🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷 |

Don't sell the 8mm short. From my experience, the 8mm is more than an equal to the 30-06.
Now before this argument gets all mucked up, I'm talking REAL 8mm Mauser military loads, and not those down loaded commercial loads made for pre 1910 Mauser 98s. There is a big difference between the two. |

That's why 7mmSTW rules… 8mm RemMag necked down to 7mm. Which makes it AWESOME.

Tried my favorite powder for the 308 (Leverevolution) in a new 7mm08 26" barrel in a Savage 10 action. Using a 145 gr all copper bullet I measured 2940 fps with no pressure signs using WLRM primers. There is published data using CFE 223 in the 2016 Hodgdon Annual Manual and is a similar powder. LVR is slower burning. I keyed off from this data to determine a starting load. If one wants to try LVR, start out using 41 gr and work up.

I really need to arrange getting a few from you to try. Checked out the Badlands FB page (https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1507843189520956&id=1424284557876820)
Cool stuff.

About 3 weeks ago I loaded up a box of 308 Win bullets for patient of mine who was going Elk hunting and wanted to try the 150 Bulldozer. I sighted the rifle in for him to a 350 yd zero. He got 2 Elk each with a single shot and he said they dropped in their tracks. One was hit at 300 yds ant the other at 400 yds. The rifle was an old Rem 700 ADL with a 4X32 Tasco fixed power scope. At autopsy he said both bullets exited, there was minimal meat damage, but everything in between was "messed up". These results mirror what Jason and I saw on our plains game hunt in June where we got 7 animals in 7 shots at ranges from 40-482 yds. He has made a 145 gr 7mm with a hollow point of the same design.
