Newboarhunter, if you' re a handloader then you know how many premium bullets are available from Swift, Barnes, Trophy Bonded and other companies and for that matter sheer bullet selection of 8MMs compared to .338 bullets.

Both extremely powerful cartridges....yet the .338 just has to get the nod because of bullet selection. Oh yes, there are a few great bullets available in 8MM, but that' s it...a few.
