[QUOTE="Plinker147, post: 2592231, member: 88320"] I have an 8mmX338WM. Its in a 20 inch Douglas barrel on a modified Mauser action. I shoot the 200 gr Accubonds at 2800fps. I've killed a lot of elk and oryx with this combo. Furthest shot was 525yds on a elk. Its a great mid range gun, kind of starts fizzling out about 600yds. Its a great horseback gun, since its not expensive, short and light. As stated earlier 8mm just lack options and very limited bullet selections. It gets out performed by a 300WSM or 338WM, not much reason to go with one with all of todays options. I will sell mine for cheap if anyone wants one! [/QUOTE]
