8mm Ammo For Sale
History 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.
