The 8mm Mauser has a long record of excellent service and has earned the respect of many hunters and target shooters alike – all of whom will undoubtedly keep using this superb cartridge for many years to come. Today's shooter should know that not all cartridges with the 8mm Mauser or 7.92x57mm name are identical. The M88 cartridge, also sold with the name 8x57J, cannot be fired from most military surplus Mauser rifles or civilian rifles, as the bore of these rifles is sized for a 0.318-inch caliber bullet. There are rimmed versions of the 8x57J and the 8mm Mauser, and the buyer should know for sure which version their rifle fires before committing to an ammunition purchase. Learn More

Overview of 8mm Ammo

Introduced in 1905, the 8mm Mauser (7.92x57mm Mauser) remains a respected military cartridge. It also has a significant following among hunters as it is a proven round for use on medium- and larger-sized game.

The 8mm Mauser has more than a century of active service in the military, and to this day, it is still in reserve status in many countries. The Germans used the 8mm Mauser in WWI, where the cartridge gained the attention of other nations. It earned respect for its accuracy and power, and many people likened the performance to that of the American .30-06. By the time WWII started, the British had mounted 8mm machine guns on their trucks and Jeeps.
