Seems like my go to retailers don't have it anymore? Where are you guys finding it? With all the people who still shoot 8mm both in Canada and globally, sure seems odd that nobody wants to stock it.
 
Tradex stocks it. Relative to most commercial ammo, it is not that big a seller so I doubt that it is high on the list for most retailers to stock large amounts.
I still have a few hundred rounds of surplus for putting holes in paper. After that I will reload.
 
I was at delselins in Vernon yesterday they have loads of yugo surplus 8mm. Around $10 for small box. Priv new production 8mm is only $23 there

900 Round Sealed Crate of 8mm Mauser M75 Sniper 196 Grain Copper FMJ-BT Yugo Surplus Ammo


$459.00

(price per round $0.51)


​
900 rounds of 8mm Mauser M75 Sniper 196 Grain Copper FMJ-BT Yugo Surplus Ammo in an sealed metal liner within the original wood crate. This fine quality 8x57 ammo was made in Serbia by Prvi Partizan.

This is extremely fine quality surplus ammo and looks to be mostly 1993 vintage but other years are possible in the mix, no special selection available .

Beautiful brass case, copper jacketed lead core bullets that are non-magnetic. Berdan primers assumed to be corrosive, as you should assume with any surplus 8mm Mauser ammo.

15 Rounds per box. If you are looking for the best 8mm Mauser surplus ammo that money can buy you found it for sale here at SGAmmo.com, truly some of the finest 7.92x57 ammunition ever made anywhere in the world.

Again this ammo has a non-magnetic projectile that is range safe in California and all those indoor ranges where magnetic bullets are prohibited. This is ideal ammo for all Yugo and German Mauser rifles, M-76 semi-auto sniper rifles, belt fed machine guns.

The Yugoslavian made 8mm Mauser M75 Sniper load is absolutely fabulous and beautiful ammo that was manufactured to perfection. This is true mil-spec battle grade ammo that was recently produced so you know its still fresh and just as good as the day it was made.

For all of you that seek the finer grades of surplus ammo this is your chance to buy into the top tier of 8mm Mauser ammunition.
 
Sad, my best friend, as much as I try to convince him otherwise, still consistently shoots original ww2 German ammo.
 
Surplus 8mm Mauser (8x57mm) ammo is still very abundant in the USA and overseas, but it is not being imported into Canada because the Canadian dealers can't buy it and pay to get NRCAN to test and approve it first or cheap enough to sell in quantity in Canada, plus they feel it is a lower profit seller and regular customer demand is too low to charge what they need shooters here to pay to make it worthwhile, pretty much the same deal as .303 surplus ammo.
