Thread: Interested in people's thoughts on the 8mm mauser

Excellent all round cartridge! So what if its old, it still achieves what most hunting cartridges do - it delivers a sizeable boolit, at a reasonable speed, pretty accurately, to any game animal you care to shoot at within 300 metres. And if you know your ballistic's, beyond 300 if that floats your boat. As said above, source some European ammo, the Yanks have no bloody idea. Norma is excellent, and have been told the S&B is good. The m48 might be a bit harsh on the shoulder because of the stock shape, but my Husky 1600 is a dream to shoot with. Buy it, go shoot it, have fun and post some pic's
