Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Anybody hunting/loading for the 8x56 MS?

I was gifted a gorgeous MS in 8x56 last year and have been using 8x57 brass from Norma to play with it the little bit I have.

I have a drilling in 16x16x8x57JR and have shot a fair bit with it over the past 40 years. I have a bunch of Barnes Originals in 186gr(?) IIRC and have found them to be incredibly accurate.

MR3100 and about 56 grains of it worked better than anything else I found.

The single best group I ever shot with any rifle was with that drilling with irons... It put three shots in the same hole and the next two did not open it enough to worry about... planets and stars aligned in an unreal way!
