Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Mausers and Military Rifles 8x57 ammo

S&b vs hornady the hornady is the target with the penny. The s&b shot better out of my rifle.

And your rifle is…

I've had similar results as you. The S&B always shoots more accurately versus the Hornady. In saying that I do like the Interlock better than the cutting edge.

That was the hornady hpbt match ammo. The rifle is a zastava with a schneider barrel.

That is some damn fine shooting. At any given time I have 2 or 3 8x57's, none have ever come close to that kind of accuracy with factory ammo. I really have to dot the ayes and cross the tees reloading for an occasional bragging group. Well done.

Maybe I will do a test of all the modern commercially available ammo just shoot a bunch of 5 round groups.

Good luck finding ammo. Out west, 8x57 is as popular as root canals, had to hunt hard for it even before the days of the shortages. Californians can't internet order until court cases are settled...so it's reloading only.

Interesting to hear of different ammo situations. Here In British Columbia I see 8x57 ammo in a lot of mom and pops gun shop/Canadian tire's. Not big selection but good enough. Usually the Serbian PPU, S&B, and Hornady. The only place that doesn't have it is Bass pro and Cabela's.

You can also find some high end German made RWS which shoots lights out! Or reload. 170gr Speer w/ 4064 5 Shot group in under 3/4" at 100yards.

That's a great shooting rifle! I have a couple Zastava's myself. A true work horse that is reliable and shoots plenty accurate!

I have Nosler custom 200gr
S&b 196 spce
Hotnady 196 hpbt and interlock
Norma white tail 196gr
Federal 170gr
Winchester 170gr
Ppu 198gr

I would kill for some RWS OR LAPUA

My Husqvarna 1640 shoots the SPCE ammo into tiny little groups.
