8mm Mauser in Middle TN

[Guest Tailguuner762]

Where can I find cheap surplus plinking ammo in middle TN?

This doesn't exactly answer your question, but Southern Ohio Gun has the cheapest surplus 8mm Mauser ammo available I think. SOG Inc. - Firearms, Accessories and Ammunition

The really cheap 8mm is gone. Used to buy a whole bandoleer for about $5 at the gun shows.

SOG or SGAMMO 8mm Mauser | SGAmmo.com may be your best bet right now.

load your own with cast bullets

I have some I'd be willing to part with. Pm me

Roll your own. I loaded for it for years, it's the only cartridge I cut during my caliber consolidation that I actually lament parting with.

It is VERY underrated, underestimated, under appreciated. Handloaded proper, it will bang heads with the 308 and 30/06 any day. The achilles heel of the cartridge is the lack selection of jacketed bullets. If you want to cast as DLM suggests, there is a treasure trove of molds out there. The last mold I was tinkering with was a 250g flat point. Yeah, I said 250.

7,92x57 brass can be made from 30/06 [and others] VERY easily. One of our members here has a small pile of Frankford Arsenal Match and Lake City Match brass as well as other stamps, converted to 7,92x57 that I did some time ago.

And that brass is still doing very well for me. Shoots great in my Yugo 8mm! I do still need to find a mold though. Had to buy some cast boolits just yesterday.

I am looking just the opposite. A good friend of mine had a couple of 8mm machine guns and got out of the automatic weapons business and has a few thousand rounds left over and he has been begging me to get something in 8mm for plinking.
