Nick Harvey, the prolific shooting writer in the Sporting Shooter is a fan of the 8mm Rem Mag.
I remember Uncle Nick shooting a Nilgai in Idia with an 8mm Mag,a bloody lot of years ago too!
Don't forget water buffalo with 220gr factory loads, nilgai, waterbuck, kudu, giraffe and a host of other game including coyotes and elk. That was one well travelled 8mmRemMag.
To understand why its so good you need to understand the CIP specs ... it and the 7mmSTW are the hottest loaded rounds in existance. The factory never loaded it to its potential however, when you do so ... it leaves nothing on the table compared to the 300RUM.
