Wife and I went and shot some cast today in the 8x57, 6.5 Carcano and 30*40 Krag. The Krag and the Carcano were first at 50 yds, both were open sights, the Krag outshoots the Carcano, so far. The 8x57 was great at 100 with the 8mm Max bullet. This rifle and load has always been good for 10 shot groups of about 2 inches, no fouler- no cool down, it just likes this bullet and load at approx 1900fps. My bison slayer load from 06.
