I understand 7.92mm Mauser in 30-06 blow ups are VERY WELL DOCUMENTED.
Is it true?

Some may be missing the point that the 8mm cartridge is shorter than an 06 round. You don't have to size the neck and all that down.
Somebody do it and see how hard it is.
It's not that much shorter though.
The neck of a x57 is partially in the neck of a x62 one
What happens if a 7.92mm Mauser is fired in a 30-06?
Darwin in action if you have to hammer the bolt handle to get it to close.....
I just tried to load both a Winchester Super-X 170pp (8x57) and a Sellier and Bellot 196 grn SPCE 8x57js cartridge into one of my Colombian Model 98 Mausers chambered in 30.06 Springfield. NEITHER round would allow the bolt to close. Oh, and I DID remove the firing pin before trying this....just so you know.This means a 7.92X57, aside from being a quarter inch shorter than a .30-06, should easily chamber in a .30-06.
