If i was only hunting deer and black bear on down, i'd be using a 7x65R... But when you add moose into the menue, it's the 8x57jrs for me...

I also like the 9.3x74R, but it cost more to shoot, has more recoil, and most importantly to me, it doesn't shoot as flat as the 8x57jrs...

I REALLY like the way 200 Nosler partitions work on big game and they are my big game choise for all of my 8mm hunting!
