Excellent cartridge, 8x60mm. Same 8mm bullet as the 8x57mm standard. Cases at worst can be made from .30-06 brass by shorting the case from 63mm to 60mm and finishing the case mouth. Lube well and resize the neck by adjusting a 8x57mm sizing die to not fully resize the case. Get pretty much the same performance as a .30-06 as the bullets are comparable and the velocities are comparable.

And the rifles are very nicely assembled and finished. Made by people who really love rifles and take pride in their work.

Yes, I did that conversion 30-06 to 8x60 but used a Hornady 8x60S full resizing die after trimming to 60mm. 70AD4B67-C8A3-4868-BCEA-926EB35AD4F0.jpeg
