My 30.06 would have a word with you on who is the superior full sized rifle cartridge. The only reason I say words and don't outright discredit your cartridge is because of Simo Hayah and his massive commie body count.
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.
I'm still unconverted, 7.62x54R gang rise up
