I have an 8nn06 chamber reamer, when I go to 8mm06 I find an improvement over the 8mm57 and the 30/06, I am sure I have a few bullets left over from the days of C. Askin.
If the 8mm57 was good, the 8mm06 is better. the case body is .121" longer and as William Watts said, necking up the 30/06 case to .323 is a conversion that does not require a special die, as RCBS says 'just neck them up'.
Speed, the Turks got the 8mm57 up to 3,000 fps, always, when talking about it the 29 inch barrel is never mentioned.
Back in the old days in Alaska many Mausers were chambered to 8mm06, nothing suspect about the conversion and there was the other reason, they had the rifle, the ammo was somewhere else.
Then there is the 35 Whelen and the 338/06, and the 338/280 Remington, I have to decide what receiver the 338/280 Remington going to be installed on.
