Almost forgotten cartridges ....
      01/07/11 05:25 AM

The 8x57 Mauser and the 358 Winchester have been forgotten in the hunting camps, I guess the times have changed and shooters want the latest laser with the biggest scope.
The original military condition Brno 8x57 Mauser I picked up recently shoots 220 grain bullets right around 2400 fps. The 358 Winchester shoots the 225 grain Barnes X bullets at just over 2500 fps, I can't believe these cartridges have been overlooked for so long.
I will continue to hunt and target shoot with the 8x57, although most of the time people will look at my Mauser at the gun range and wonder what planet it fell to earth from.
I baffle them further when I show them the 30-06 brass I used to make 8x57 Mauser.
