Thank you for your help.
I mainly became interested b/c I havea late WWI German Mauser 98 small ring that was sporterized in Germany after the war(set trigger, machined barrel and handcrafted stock). Not worth a whole lot despite being in great shapebut I love to shoot it and I am limited in different types of 8mm rds. I am going to Alaska next year for Grizzly and have considered reloading the 8mm with ballistic tips. I know what this round is capable of using core lokt ammo and after seeing the difference between core lokt .243 and ballistic tip. I am confident this 8mm Ballisticwill do the job on a Grizz. As far as the .243, I want to load an accurate flat shooting round for coyotes without doing alot of overkill. The Winchester Silvertip Ballistics outperformed every other ammunition I have tried but even for a .243 the damage is excessive. I want the same accuracy but withoutblowing the shoulder clear off the coyote. Once again, Thanks alot for the advice, I will pick up the Lyman Reloading Handbook and start reading.
