Re: 8x60 NORMAL vs 8x60S

Good Morning Guy's,

I was hoping that someone from across the pond would jump in with their explanation on this great round and help clear the air. This is probally why you hear everyone say that the 8x60 is a handloaders cartridge and why it is impairative that you slug the bore of your 8x60 rifle and know what you have especially if you have a .318 bore rifle. It's to bad that there is so much confusion as to how this cartridge was labeled if you do not handload you need to be aware of these facts because I really like the design of the original bullets I hate to waste them by firing them just so I can reload with known components that fit my gun. So, the cartridges that I purchased yesterday have the smaller bullets and although due to having a .323 bore rifle and being able to fire these through it and reload with known size components I hate to waste these bullets, this being said I will throw it out there that I have (6) boxes 10 rounds each of the RWS 8x60 with hollow point D- MantelgeschoB bullets that I may be willing to sell or trade for factory loaded ammo with the .323 bullets or I may just have to keep in the collection in case another rifle comes along that has a .318 bore. If these happen to be what you need for your rifle I am open to offers otherwise these will probally just sit on the shelf awaiting that new rifle. I encourage anyone that is familiar with this cartridge and it's variations to jump in and help educate us all on it's
marketing and package markings.
