Here goes. I have a beautiful mauser chambered in 8x60S with the .323 bore, so I am always on the lookout for ammo for it even though I have enough cases and reload it also. Today I ran across several old boxes of RWS 8x60 normal & I purchased them, they are sealed & I have yet to open them.
Now I suspect that the normal means that they are for the .318 bore but I have read others who have the opinion that this means normal loading and the S means for the spitzer bullet and hotter load. I don't beleive this to be true as there was also the MAGNUM or MAGNUM BOMBE loading, I know this to be a fact as I have 1 box so marked. My question to those who know more than I is if in fact the NORMAL means for the .318 bore. I will confirm this once I break the seal on the first box but thought I would ask the question to the experts here on the forum to see what opinions are offered up. All the ammo is RWS or DWM.
