8mm Mauser (8x57mm IS) Ammo Prices

The German service round through two world wars and one of the great military cartridges of all time. Millions of surplus Mauser 98 rifles carried it home in duffel bags and it deer hunts as well as it ever soldiered. The action that fed it became the template every bolt rifle on earth still copies. That is not a small legacy.

Loads run 150 to 200 grain in modern soft points and dwindling surplus ball. Watch the pressure story here because some loadings are downloaded for old bores. Supply ebbs and flows and the case deals reward the shooter who does not panic buy.
