Some years ago I bought a nice Mauser with several bandoleers of 8mm ammo on 5 round stripper clips. It's a great old rifle that I put into the back of the safe where it sat for a few years until just recently. After a fun range trip I'm down to the last bandoleer of ammo so I went looking to pick more up and am now a little confused.
I wanted to make sure I'm getting the right ammo as there seems to be a few different 8mm. There is 7.92x57, and 8x57, and 8mm Mauser, which I'm thinking might all be the same. But then what is 8x57JS and 8x57JRS? Then I read something about some of the old Mausers being in an "old" 8mm boresize. What the hell is that???
So need a little help on what I'm actually looking for.
Thanks
