CDN_Stalker, i fully realise those counter-points but think about how nice it would be if air bubbles didn't cause such a degradation in consistancy...

ok, higher weight (.36's +) would have fewer anyway, but when they do it would still have an impact due to gyroscopic instability.

basically no, there is no great reason for 8mm.. you could also argue that it's more likely to be deflected as well as being more expensive and harder to find.

all i can say is, try being shot at by someone with an 8mm rifle and you'll come to understand why someone would want one (it's a 'hate it until you try it' thing)
