I should have included the possibility of firing the 8 mm in a Mauser that had been rebarreled and chambered for .30-06, which I believe was blamed for 4 of the sixty-some Springfield receiver failures that Hatcher investigated. So not only should the headspace be checked, but before that double-check the chambering and bore dimensions.
