8mm Rem Mag Ammo For Sale From Various Retailers
The 8mm Remington Magnum belted Remington Arms Company introduced rifle cartridge in 1978 as a new chambering for the model 700 BDL rifle.
The 8mm Remington Magnum parent case is the .375 H&H Magnum. It is a very long and powerful cartridge that cannot be used in standard length actions, such as those that accommodate the .30-06 Springfield.
The 8mm Remington Magnum was intended to compete with the .300 Weatherby Magnum and .338 Winchester Magnum. Remington's decision to use a metric bullet may have been prompted by their past success with the 7 mm bore diameter.
