The way I look at it, American manufacturers show a complete lack of respect for great cartridges like 8x57 and 6.5x55 then come out with a new cartridge that does nothing more than mimic their performance and call it the best thing since sliced bread. I'll admit that I'm itching to buy something chambered in .260 Rem and would hope they make ANY 8mm cartridge poipular if only to increase the selection of bullets available. To me it would be alot more useful if they made some usable loads for 8x57 rifles since I own about a dozen of them right now <img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>
