From 8 mm caliber upwards the rise of sectional density and penetrating capability of practical spin-stabilized rifle bullets (bullets up to 5 to 5.5 calibers in length) tends to flatten out. [ 7 ] This means that, loaded with light, short and soft-nosed 8 mm bullets, the 8mm Remington Magnum can be used on remarkably small game.

The 7.92×57mm Mauser (designated as the 8mm Mauser or 8×57mm by the SAAMI [2] and 8 × 57 IS by the C.I.P. [3]) is a rimless bottlenecked rifle cartridge. The 7.92×57mm Mauser cartridge was adopted by the German Empire in 1903–1905, and was the German service cartridge in both World Wars. In its prime, the 7.92×57mm Mauser cartridge was ...
The 8×60mm S bullet diameter is 8.22 mm (.323 in) as found in the 8×57mm IS. The new cartridge used the same bullet and therefore only the chamber of the rifle had to be modified (reamed out by 2 mm plus 1 mm of neck extension) to accommodate the slightly longer case. This operation was easily performed on Gewehr 98 and Karabiner 98k rifles ...
The 8×68mm S case has functioned as the parent case for the .375 Hölderlin (9.5×68mm), which is essentially a 9.53 mm (.375 caliber) necked-up version of the 8×68mm S. The wildcat status of the .375 Hölderlin ended in 2007 when it got C.I.P. certified and became an officially registered and sanctioned under the 375 Hölderlin designation ...

As is customary in European cartridges the 8 denotes the 8 mm bullet caliber and the 64 denotes the 64 mm (2.52 in) case length. The 8×64mm is a hunting cartridge in central Europe and can due to its 87.5 mm (3.445 in) maximal overall length fairly easily be chambered in standard sized military Mauser Gewehr 98 bolt-action rifles.
