Yep, they make some very good powders. I have not found anything that could equal them for accuracy in a .223 and a 30BR I was playing with a couple of years ago. As for the hot 8X57 loads, there's no problem with those as long as you're using an appropriate rifle. I wouldn't try hotrodding just any old mauser, but if you have a modern CZ, Tikka, Sako, or whatever they'll work wonderfully. Note that Sako and S&B ammo is loaded to full power in 8X57 anyway, it's just our American stuff that is kept very mild.
