RE: Just put a Yugo 24-47 on layaway!!
CB,
What type of 8x57 is it JS, JRS, etc? If it is a JS you have a cartridge with considerable more range than 150 yards, providing it shoots well and has proper sights (scope). I have a Turkish mauser in 8x57JS and I load 150 gr sierras in it. This round is just a step beneath the 30-06, but not by much.
