Yes I know, but so does my .270. I want a .338 for moose one day and to use something different sometimes when elk hunting. Besides if everyone used an 06 then what would we talk about on here. The 8mm is great but that caliber isn't popular enough for them to load it.

What if they called it the .323 WSM instead of 8mm? How about the .320 WSM? Or the .325 WSM?

Could you imagine a nicer long range deer round than the 8mm 170gr Sierra Pro Hunter or 180gr Nosler Ballistic tip at just over 3000fps? Or what kind of elk medicine the 8mm 200gr Nosler Partition would be at 2900fps? Wouldn't a 220gr Swift A-Frame at 2800fps be adequate for even brown bears?

Would any of you guys buy it?

Even more than that, I would love to see both the 8mm/08 and the 8mm-06 loaded commercially. Having a really bad shoulder, this might give a recoil-sensitive guy like myself an opportunity to own a rifle with some serious knockdown power on the front side of the muzzle, rather than the rear.

Good Dogwork and Good Hunting
