Have 2 model 8 Remingtons. A 30 and a 32. The 30 shoots as advertised and even eats my reloads w/o any problems. Haven't gotten around to doing any loading for the 32 yet though I did pick up a sealed box of Hornady 32 Special FN bullets this weekend at a show for future ventures in that direction. The 32Rem bore is actually a bit tighter than the .321 diameter of the bullets for the 32Win Special but they work fine with their thin jackets and the low pressures involved.

I can see why LE wanted the detachable mag not only for the high cap,, but for ease of loading. Though there were charger clips available for these rifles, more often than not they are loaded singly into the mag from the top. They are not the fastest nor the easiest rifles to load. Arty-itis don't help!

I think I need a 35Rem next...
