Hello,
I have hunt for several years, and still do, with an old Mauser k98 chambered in 8x57js. A good caliber for hunting in the Woods. In long barrels like the k98 ones, The heavy bullets works better. I tried several european bullets from RWS and Norma. All good bullets: TIG, Doppelkern, vulkan, oryx. But my favourite is the A frame from Swift. It expands well within 50/70 meters,on medium size game, and better on heavy games. Never recovered a bullet from an animal, always found a blood path to follow.
An expensive bullet but really a premium bullet. It works great also in m 8x68S.
