54R is definitely inferior to the can of whoop ass that is 30-06. I think it is still on the hotter end of it's generation of military cartridges. 8mm Lebel and Mauser are prolly weaker than 54R. Your 30-06 cartridges were also prolly made a year before you bought it instead of decades.
8mm mauser is a hell of a lot stronger than 54r, presuming you are shooting the real stuff and not the underloaded commercial shit. It is on par with 30-06 energy wise, just with a heavier bullet
I will always differ to the saami specs for the reality of the cartridges. That said 54r isn't weak at all but, not .30-06. Modern hunting loads are top of the line for .30-06 and can be fired by the 1903's today. So compared to 8mm it depends on the load.
