Yes that 8mm is about as good as it gets. I was thinking of recoil and having quick follow up shots.

I guess what I say and what I do are different things as that 8mm Mauser is in another room. Within six feet is my old Remington 552 speedmaster loaded with 14 rounds of high speed .22lr. That old .22 auto is almost off the charts accurate and in all these years has never failed.

Still it would be extremely slow to reload that tubular magazine. I have been wanting another Ruger 10-22 for several years and will probably get one before too long.

Come to think of it, I might just load up that old Mauser and keep it handy too. Slow to reload but I could keep a few loaded stripper clips near at hand. I guess the Swedish Mauser would be just as good with slightly less recoil. I still have a pile of Lapua match for it. FMJ but with that much power it doesn’t matter.

The solution to tube magazine reloads. Slick and fast. I have several for my Marlin 60’s
