My RCBS dies are marked 416 Taylor. I like the round and have used it on everything from whitetails to buffalo.

Never owned one but the 8mmx30-06 always made a lot of since top me inasmuch as thousands of old nice 8x57 Mausers have been available for many years and the 8mm on the 06 case is a rechamber only and the velocity and bullet weight are equal to the 338-06, and that ain't all bad..Certainly a very practical wildcat, something that can't be said for the majority of them.

You just made a good case for the 338-06.

(PS later: I missed the point about using an old 8mm barrel. Still, a person needs to ask why the ONE wildcat for someone would be to neck up a 30-06 one and a half calibers?)
