JRR,
I am also a fan of the 8X57 mm Scout.
My Burris 2 X Scout Scope Fantastic Optics !
I like to keep about 300 or so of my IDEAL 323471's on hand at all times.
My 8X57mm Scout rifle simply loves this bullet.
My favorite load of 12.3 grs. of Alliant Unique , with the IDEAL, 323471, sized to .325 ". The bullet has my own .014 " thick AL gas checks.
I couldn't be happier with my rifle.
