BUFFALO BORE’s 8MM MAUSER (.323 inch)* AMMUNITION

8 X 57mm MAUSER (.323-inch)*
150 gr. Spitzer Soft Point @ 2,900 fps / 2,971 ft-lbs
20 Round Box

ITEM # 8X57-150

 I’ve been a bit tardy bringing out 8X57 (.323) ammo as customers have been requesting some good full-power 8X57 hunting ammo for almost thirty years as of this writing (09-21-23).

*KNOW YOUR RIFLE, PLEASE. If you know the history of the 8X57, the early rifles (1880s to 1905) utilized a bullet of .318 inch, but after 1905, using the then new M98 action, a more powerful 8X57 load was designed that used .323-inch diameter bullets, and that is the bullet diameter used for the 8X57 Mauser since.  It will likely explode if you try to fire the modern .323-inch diameter bullets through one of these older 8X57s with a .318-inch groove!

We will make five different 8X57 Mauser loads, utilizing the below bullets:

1.  150 gr. Spitzer soft point @ 2900 fps
2.  170 gr. Spitzer soft point @ 2700 fps
3.  170 gr. Barnes TSX @ 2650 fps
4.  195 gr. Spitzer soft point @ 2500 fps
5.  196 gr. Nosler Partition @ 2500 fps

This load (Item # 8X57-150) is designed with an expanding, fast-moving 150 gr. spitzer soft point. This load was intended for smaller, big game like deer. I would not use it for body shots on animals weighing much more than 300 lbs. It is perfect for the deer hunter who uses an 8X57 for deer hunting. If you are going to use this load on animals much larger than 300 lbs., use CNS (central nervous system) hits only.

Below, you can see the typical pre-war rifles I used to develop these 8X57 loads and corresponding velocities. 

      rifles

> 2,934 fps - BRNO Manlicher, 21-inch barrel
> 2,912 fps - Sporterized military, 24-inch barrel

As you can see, the shorter barrel gives slightly higher velocities, which may be a good place for you to read the following tech article.  VELOCITY VERSUS BARREL LENGTH

All these new 8X57 loads will be full power but will stay within SAAMI pressure specs., so if you have an ordinary, in shooting condition 8X57 rifle (.323-inch)*, this load will be safe, functional in the rifle and deadly on its intended game.

 

Good shooting, and God bless,

Tim Sundles
