Re: 8x75 mm RS in a double?

Probably the only reason why this caliber is still nominated is the love affair with H.Goering, as written before. Nowaday, probably, there are better calibers for doubles. The 30R Blaser probably could be a good choice, with several factory loads available. Blaser has a K95 in production, chambered in 8x68S. If it's possible to built a kipplauf in this caliber... Well...
A double in 8x68S should be THE weapon.
Doc
Really?!
Who wants a modern .30R Blaser? Fine for those who want one. Does the job in a modern way. But you do realise NE discussions are on a lot of older cartridges.
As for a 8x68S in a double, fine choice of a bolt action but no way in a double IMO ... unless a rimmed version.

What an insulting comment to me, the opening poster.
Now if a non retarded look is taken, the 9.3x74R, the parent case, is going strong. The 8mm version, would make a handy rimmed lighter rifle for medium game. Of more power than lesser 8mm, but still rimmed for good extraction.
Proof is it is still chambered in modern double rifles by a number of makers.
And just because some infamous person used one once, only retards obsess on that ... either pro or con ...
