The caliber 8 x 68 S is a German magnum cartridge and is considered a stronger version of the caliber 8 x 57 IS. The caliber is very fast and is therefore suitable for long-range shots, e.g. in the mountains, and for all large game worldwide. The cartridge is attributed with very high precision.
A disadvantage of the caliber is the strong recoil. Additionally, the projectile does not reach its full potential on short-range hits, as it penetrates the game body too quickly.
