Interlock for the woods @ about 2200fps. , but often thought that it was too tough @ that speed. Went back to the Interlock 170 RN @ 2500fps. For years I ran Speers, Sierras, Corelocts,& various Factories. Before the internet, I never knew that I had a problem. Think I'll stick with the RN. Steelie - What do you run in your 8mm?

Sure why not? If that was the only bullet I had in my rifle at the time and an elk tag in my pocket.....I'm sure it would reach the vitals. Heck the 162 grain SST in .284 is supposed to be a tough bullet and reported African game taken with it. Don't imagine this wouldn't work, I was thinking more in line for hog, deer, bullet but wouldn't pass up an elk if it is what I had in the gun. I think this offers a lighter weight bullet to compete with the standard rifle calibers?
