Bob, the 8x57 will be slow, I remember I shot some at the range and it hardly kicked at all,and POI was very low and I think it will have been like the American Winchester 8mm, loaded like a .30/30...I never shot a deer with a 8x57 yet though.
...but, try the same thing in Sellier and Bellot ammo and a different story. Which is odd , because the Prvi/Highland stuff is Serbian and the Sellier and Bellot is Czech.
The Sellier and Bellot is a good cheap ammo, more accurate then Prvi Partisan on average and good velocities. ButI think the bullets are hard and don't expand much.
