weaver77 Posted February 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 i just got back from mexico sorry for the delay sarco runs and add in the shotgun news and every so often they where listing those barrels best bet is to give them a call and ask them if they have them they where calling them 8mmx63 sweede barrels but i dont believe thats what the chamber actually was as the diamiter of the chamber seemed a good bit larger but dont get your hopes up about sarco actually haveing anything in stock that they advertise it a 50/50 shot at best i will round up thier number in the morning and post it for yall brian i will pm you the load data i used this particular barrel wasnt verry picky and the worst five shot group was with the 185 rem corlkt's best was with 180 nos balistic tips close runner up 175 sierra pro hunter's which is the bullet i normaly use in my 8x57's i took my nephew out to shoot and then gave him a crash course on reloading had him load up some more ammo and then took him out to shoot again it was a really good experience doing that with him and i am still not sure who had more fun me or him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoedoh Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 If someone still wants a Swede 8x63 barrel, its probably still a good bet that Sarco has them. Sarco has advertised them for years now and no one seems to be buying them. From what I'm told, they are chambered for an 8x63 machine gun cartridge the Swedes developed some years ago and never really fielded. For $35, I bet they're a pretty deal on for an 8mm barrel. Cool Turk! and an excellent choice in caliber. Its hard to beat that old 8x57JS ain't it? The Germans sure go it right when they developed that little gem.
