I liked my old 8x57! Looking at my old reloading notes, I use very similar loading data for mine. Killed deer, coyotes and jack rabbits with it out of an old German Mauser. Then I got to reading all the gun magazine articles about how great the 8-06 was and had it rechambered. That's a great gun too, but now, I kind of wish I had left it as an 8x57. Fads come and go, got to be careful what you do.
