8mm-o6

The 8mm/06 ismade by simply necking up the standard .30/06 case to accept the 8mm(.323) bullet. This makes a very fine big game cartridge wich is both efficent and flexable. Also there is a wide veriaty of bullets available from Barnes and Swift. There is a great number of 8mm Mauser military rifles in this country being used for hunting. Most all use factory ammunition loaded for the weaker 1888 commision and M1889 rifles. The M1898 can with stand the pressure of any modern cartridge. The 8mm-06 gives the power of the parent round without re-barreling the rifle. This creates a rifle that is certainly the equal of the .30-06 and is most likely more effective on larger game. This is also factory loaded by several manufactures such as Precision Cartridge Co., Quality Cartridge and Hawk's View
