I agree ! The 7mm rounds are all great, the 7x57 most propably being the best of them all, but 8mm is better IMHO. If the ranges are within 200 meters, the 8x57IRS is hard to beat for use on deer-sized game or black bears. If the ranges are longer than 200 meters, the 8x75RS would be very effective. Its ballistics are superior to the .30 R Blaser, which is ballistically a flanged .300 H&H mag.
Somewhere between is the 8x65RS, also a very interesting flanged cartrige in the 30/06 class. The 8mm cartridges offer all You will ever need, so give it a try !
