8x57 js Husqvarna range report

[7x57]

I got a Husky 8mm (model 1600 commercial sporter/topped with 4x Weaver K4 Burris rings Weaver mounts), for CHRISTmas and loaded up a handful of Speer hot-cors.

200 grains, Rem brass, Win WLR primers, 50grs IMR 4350.  After crude bore sighting technique, rifle was 3 inches low and perfect side-to-side @ 25 yards. 3 shots later,shoot crank shoot crank,  and I shot a three shot group dead on and touching @ 25 yards.

 @ 100 yards 1 1/4 inch group 5 shots. 2 inches high and 1 in left.     @ 200 yards 4 in high and 1/2 inch left.

Clearly shoots better than I do and I have some loaded with 51 grains that I hope to blast off real soon.
 
Keep you posted, Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to all.

Sounds like you're gonna be changing your name pretty soon.    
I have a 8x57 that I just starting working with.  I killed one deer with it this year.  I bought enough 175gr bullets at an auction to last me forever so that will be my bullet of choice for a while.

I had a Husky in 30-06 and thought a lot of it.  My son-in-law now has it.

I killed a bear in Canada using a 8x57.  It was a one shot kill.
