I know that a lot of guys favor the lighter bullets, but I believe the 8x57 does its best with 200 grain pills. I use mostly Nosler Accubonds, and Partitions for hunting, and the Nosler 200 grain custom competition for play. I have three Blasers, and Sauer in 8X57, and load these to around 2500-2550 depending on which rifle. It is amazing how easy hits are out to 500 yards on steel targets with these bullets. They carry well, and still have a lot of smack when they get there.
