Thanks to all for their input in this, because of this thread I've discovered the 8mm Mazon.
I'm thinking this is exactly what I am looking for....non belted, fits '98 action, cases available from Bertram Brass, reamer from JGS and dies from RCBS.....if they kept the specs...

If you are considering an 8 MM Mazon, why not, for very similar if not better powder volume consider a 8 mm x 375 Ruger? You could rebarrel any 300 WINmag or 375 Ruger , Pacific Tools and Gauge will make you a reamer.

I looked at that after I read your post, looks like an interesting cartridge…..now I’m eyeing off my Colombian carbine that needs restoring….

I've had correspondence with the owner/designer of the 8mm Mazon, Alvaro Mazon, and he's looking into sending his reamer to me on loan....mainly checking legalities of sending a reamer from Spain to Australia, and back.....looks promising...

I now have the reamer and go / no go gauges for the 8mm Mazon, ( Thanks Alvaro ) so first thing after Chrissy we'll see what we can do with it.
....wrong spelling in the first pic...

The above pic is L-R ...338 WM, 9.3X64B case, 8mm Mazon dummy I made and my original 8-06.....

Roger, you are using a Mauser 98 for this project?
Which Mauser 98, just curious!
