About 8mm Mauser Ammunition

The 8mm Mauser, also known as 7.92x57mm Mauser, was developed by the German Empire and adopted in 1905, quickly becoming one of the most widely used military cartridges in history. Known for its accuracy and potency, it was used extensively during both World Wars and is still favored by enthusiasts of military surplus rifles and hunters.

Types of 8mm Mauser Loadings

  • Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail (FMJBT): Like FMJ loadings, ammunition of this type features a projectile that is fully encapsulated in a metal jacket. This metal is generally going to be of the copper variety. Typical FMJ projectiles feature a flat base while boat tail projectiles feature a tapered base which resembles a boat tail. This geometry promotes accuracy and high velocities.
  • Full Metal Jacket (FMJ): Like the name suggests, these types of loadings feature projectiles which are adorned with metal jacketing. This jacket is generally made of copper and will cover the tip and sides of the projectile. Typically, the base of the projectile is left uncoated.These types of loadings are well-suited for range use and are some of the most common types of ammo one will encounter.

Firearms that Use 8mm Mauser Ammo

The 8mm Mauser is primarily used in vintage military bolt-action rifles of various Mauser designs. Other notable rifles include things such as Gewehr 43 and Egyptian Hakim rifles. These rifles are commonly found on the surplus market and remain popular among collectors and shooters alike. Additionally, some modern production bolt action rifles are available from a number of companies, though their presence in America is rare as they are typically intended for European markets.
