I had an 8mm-06 for a while. It's a great round, in fact I found it to be just as good as the .30-06!
Yeah, I have your article on it around here somewhere, good read. Bear in mind, I'm trying to accomplish NOTHING by rebarreling a .30-06 to 8mm-06. I know any gains are miniscule at best, other than scratching a mild itch. The only way a .30-06 will reside in my safe is as a donor. I have bought two over the last couple years for the actions, a Mark X that is currently under construction becoming a .376 Steyr and the Remington 78 that is the next victim here. I would get less than zero enjoyment out of hunting with a .30-06. An 8mm-06 on the other hand... As the Grand Poobah of Rifle Loonies, I'm sure you understand!
