The allegation that the 8X75RS was Herman Goering´s favorite cartridge is anything but a recommendation for it. Personally, I regard Herman Goering's preference for the 8X75RS as a negative, not a reason to be attracted to a cartridge.

Goering had the excuse of being addicted to drugs for some of his excesses, but once dried out and having shed a good deal of excess weight, he presented himself as perhaps the most formidable defendant on the dock at Nürnberg. The psychiatrist who interviewed the prisoners during the trial found him to be the most intelligent of the lot.

Of the "Big Four", Hitler, Goering, Goebels and Himmler, he was probably the least objectionable. "Der Dicke" (The Fat One) undoubtedly enjoyed the most popularity among the German people, and he was a legitimate "Pour le Merite" winner in World War I, who led the Richtofen Staffel after The Red Baron´s death, but his taste was reflected in his love for comic opera uniforms and gaudy jewelry.
