The 8mm always seems to have had a dark cloud around it, at least here in the US. I've read many theories on why 8mms don't do well on this side of the pond; some I agree with to a degree and some not as much. Regardless, I think the 8mm/.323 caliber is very underrated. Even though 8mm bullet selection was traditionally limited in the past, modern bullets and powders (think pre-pandemic availability) have made this a very viable choice for almost anything you'd want to hunt in North America.
What's your favorite 8mm cartridge? I'm thinking in terms of a hunting or target rifle, most likely bolt-action in most cases.
