well from what i rember the 30-06 was really a redisined 8mm M. so would it not stand to reasion to use the 8mm M if you wanted a 8mm-06?
i know the us cart. companys down load the 7mm M and 8mm M but dosent the erorpiean Cart. companys load them to modern standerds?

all so as stated the 338 is very close to the 8mm and so is the 35w.

now a 35-08 maybe a good choice?? well not realy look at the old 358. the over 30cal. is a funny market. alot of people look to older rounds for the over 30 "ie 38-55 45-70 and the such." espicaly on deer.
if biger game is on the list to hunt most people wont the most power avalile in the biger cal. IE 8mm rem mag 338 wm 338rum,340 and the such.

rem is the compay that will try and try on unpopular cals more than anyone else. look at the 6.5
