Its pretty much the European 30-06, the 8mm IS 200 grain bullet can be safely pushed to 2700 fp/s which makes it a perfect all-round cartridge. Tons of hunting rifles are chambered for it.

Its a fine, fun cartridge but the recoil can be a bit stout with he heavier bullets like 200-225. 150's are easy to shoot.
