PPU 8mm Mauser Ammo - 198 Grain FMJ

8mm Mauser Rifle Line

This is PPU Rifle Line ammunition in 8mm Mauser, loaded with a 198 grain full metal jacket boat tail bullet. It is made for shooters who keep 8x57 JS rifles running, from military bolt-action collectors to target shooters who want steady, affordable range ammunition. PPU is the brand of Prvi Partizan, an ammunition maker based in Uzice, Serbia. Each box holds 20 centerfire rounds.

Features

• 8mm Mauser Chambering — Loaded for rifles chambered in 8mm Mauser, also listed as 8x57 JS or 7.92x57mm.
• 198 Grain Bullet — The projectile weighs 198 grains (12.85 g), a grain being the standard unit for bullet weight at 7,000 to the pound.
• Full Metal Jacket — A copper jacket covers the lead core so the bullet holds its shape and feeds cleanly, which makes it a range and target load.
• Boat Tail Base — The tapered rear of the bullet cuts drag in flight and helps it hold velocity at distance.
• 2,161 FPS Muzzle Velocity — Listed muzzle velocity is 2,161 feet per second.
• Brass Cases — Each round uses a brass case, the material most reloaders prefer for repeat sizing and firing.
• Boxer Primed And Reloadable — A single central flash hole lets standard decapping dies push the spent primer out, so you can reload the cases.
• Non-Corrosive Priming — The primers leave no corrosive salts in the bore, so routine cleaning is all the rifle needs after a range day.
• 20-Round Box — Packed 20 cartridges to a printed Rifle Line carton with a tuck-flap lid.

Build And Compatibility

Prvi Partizan loads these with a copper-jacketed boat tail bullet seated in boxer-primed brass, so you can save and reload the fired cases. The cartridge is 8x57 JS, the version with a .323 bore that most 8mm Mauser rifles use. Confirm the chamber marking on your rifle before firing, because some older 8x57 J rifles have a smaller .318 bore and should not use this load.
