A question. Why is a 8x60S so impressive when compared to say a .30-06? Shorter case. Is powder capacity also lesser in the 8x60m or is it a blown out case? .323 (or .318 calibre, so in theory can use a heavier bullet than .30 calibres. But you can get .308 250 grs, just like you can get 250 gr 8mm. Lesser range of projectiles, and in particular less choice of premium projectiles.

So don't understand why it is much different from the 8x57, .30-06 etc?

BTW I do like the idea of the 8x60S, but isn't it pretty much a 8mm/06 in usage?
