- The 8x60S is a versatile and accurate rifle cartridge that has gained a lot of popularity in recent years. It was originally developed by the German government and is based on the 7.92 x 57mm Mauser cartridge. The 8x60S offers shooters a wide range of bullet weights, from 160 to as heavy as 250 grains, making it an excellent choice for target shooting, hunting, predator calling, and even self-defense.
The 8x60S also offers some advantages over its competitors such as improved accuracy due to its small case size, good velocity at longer distances, excellent energy retention past 1,000 yards and reduced recoil when compared to other rounds. This makes it an ideal choice for long-range shooting or taking down large game animals at longer distances without sacrificing accuracy.
