A long time ago guys use to ream the Chambers out on these things to 8MM 06. Its easy to make once chambered, just get an 8mm 06 die, and some good .323 soft points and use 30 06 brass. There is reloading data for this cartridge, and its a real thumper, I have never heard of the longer cartridges like this having feeding problems, just the shorter ones. Also 7x57 Mauser would not cause any problems either, and its a fine Deer Hunting Cartridge. 8x57 Mauser is wicked when Handloaded. Good luck with Your Project.
