And a thank you to the original poster for sharing links to the ammo and ggoing such a good job explaining the best use for each rounnd. I know because i've tried it when an individual tried to load his. The 8mm mauser is an amazing round and rifle.
reom right 7.65 X 54 Mauser, 7.7 Jap, 8 X 57 Mauser, 7.62
So either will be a factory ammo / reloading venture.
308 winchester when all three are loaded to(or close to) military spec.
Comparing the.308 and 8mm mauser on a few different targets. There's really not that much difference if you reload the 8x57. It has nazi proof markings on it (stock was modified for a cheek weld, and tapped for a scope, boooo). What does 8mm mauser compare to?
Because of post ww1 laws, civilians couldn't own military caliber weapons, and so the old.318 diameter 8mm chambering stayed around long after the military adopted the.323 diameter bore.
Hey axxe, i've got both and use both hunting.
