| 8x57 ammo is affected by GHWBush's import restrictions and consequently has become obscenely expensive. Samco has plenty of it, but you will pay. There are a few smaller outfits that sell on Gunbroker that have some and you will pay. Other than the surplus stuff, all US market 8x57 is SAAMI-spec. Norma, Wolf Gold and S&B are new production and claim to be non-corrosive, but is SAAMI-spec and you will pay. The surplus ammo is about half or less compared to the price of commercial. The big difference between Euro commercial and US commercial is Euro brands use 196/198 gr bullets and US commercial is mostly 170/175 gr. |
