I don't have a number for 8mm Siamese but Ken Waters put the Siamese Mauser conversion to .45-70 in the same Super Group III category as Ruger No 1.

IINM, the 8x50R Siamese Mauser cartridge had a maximum pressure of around 50KSI. The .45-70, a popular conversion for the Siamese Mauser, is significantly less.
