8x57 Factory rounds worth recommending

[simmo]

G'day All

I have recently added a spanish Mauser in 8x57 to my safe (likely to be first of many ) and until im kitted out for reloading my own, I was wondering if anyone could recommend any particular brand/make of factory rounds in this calibre that are better than others and worth keeping an eye out for.

Cheers

Norma make them but probably pricy. I'd have a look for some Privy Partisan, the brass is reputed to be good and it's generally not too dear.

My thoughts exactly. By Privi, it also means Highland, all using PPU/NNY brass.

thanks guys, i think i should be able to get the highland stuff and I know that one if the locals (dealers) sells the feferal stuff also. Just need some time at the range to work out what my rifle likes best.

It's worth trying.

People seem to bag the highland a bit as cheap n' nasty but I've seen sub-moa groups with it too.

For off the shelf soft-points you can't complain with that.

There were quantities of 70's and 80's Yugoslavian surplus going around a while back.

Don't discount the old ammo, some of it shoots well

I was at the range with my Annie, and Muddy and his Weihrauch.

I could have thrown them more accurately but his didn't do half bad with them
