THE problem with the 8mm is bullet selection. Compared to 30 cal. the 8 has to stand in the corner with it's hat on!
I have an 8 R M so.......

In the 8mm mag, I would choose either the 200 grain Nosler Partition, 200/220 grain Swift A-Frame or the 220 grain Sierra. With the NP or SAF I could get by just fine for anything in NA or plains game in Africa.
Don't need a billion bullet selections to hunt big game.
