A note in my old Pacific Handloading Manual (pre Hornady), the notes on the 8x57 Mauser state it will duplicate .30/06 data at the same pressure, due to it's greater expansion ratio, that makes up for it's smaller case capacity. The data presented in the manual bears that out.

Good to know...

I really haven't had much of anything to do with the 8mm other than the .416 Rem is off of the 8mm Remington.. Craig Boddington still sings the merits of the 8mm Rem as well for elk.. so.. there you have it..

Because of this I found the information interesting..however do feel it because it is off of a mostly American site, it was slanted in information for that audience ..
