Greek Surplus 8mm Mauser 198 GRAIN Lead Core FMJBT Corrosive Brass – 20 ROUND BOX

Disclaimer: Due to storage and age, some of these boxes of 8mm Mauser contain a thin layer of dust/powder from packaging. This dust wipes easily off of the ammunition and should not hinder or restrict performance.

***This ammunition is military surplus and most likely has not been stored in ideal conditions or the proper environment throughout the years. Therefore, we cannot guarantee this ammunition to be 100% reliable. Boxes may be damaged.***

This is corrosive ammunition. It will cause your rifle to rust up if you do not take extra steps while cleaning. This ammo is also Bedan-primed. Its brass cases are reloadable, but will not accept the Boxer primers that are almost exclusively used for handloading in the United States.

Looking for a great deal on 8mm Mauser ammo? Greece produced a whole bunch of the stuff back during the 1930s and ‘40s, but their military fortunately never found a use for it. This ammo has sat around for decades while remaining in remarkably good condition, and we’re shipping it out by the case!

This cartridge is loaded with a 198 grain FMJ bullet, which has a solid lead core. We have not yet determined this round’s muzzle velocity, but it is reasonable to assume that the Greek military called for 8mm Mauser ammo with a muzzle velocity of or around 2,600 fps. The ammo’s brass cases bear “PCM” headstamps, and their primers are sealed to help lock out moisture that could impact performance.
