The 8mm Remington Magnum is suitable for hunting almost any game animal on the planet, though certain sub-Saharan Africa countries have a 9.53 mm (.375 in) or 10.2 mm (.40 in) minimum caliber rule for hunting Big Five game – i.e. leopard, lion, Cape buffalo, rhinoceros and African elephant.

Hunters like the cartridge for its effectiveness on game of medium size. The proper ammo easily reaches out with effectiveness to more than 400 yards, taking bear, boar and deer. Blaser, Steyr, Mauser and Zastava are some of the better known companies that still make hunting rifles in this caliber.

Based on past experience with the SST bullet, I estimate that 8mm SST will show its greatest strengths at impact velocities of between 3100 and 1600fps. From a muzzle velocity of 3400fps, this equates to a range of 130 to 980 yards - a basic 1000 yard load.

32 caliber is a size of ammunition, fitted to firearms with a bore diameter of 0.32 inches (8.1 mm).
