8mm Mauser is still available from a few manufacturers. Finding it isn't overly difficult but the price is fairly high. Last time I purchased some Winchester 8mm Mauser it was about $28 for 20 rounds. Reloading makes things much easier and I find myself only buying factory made ammo to get the brass.

Locally I was buying it for about $20/20. All commercial of course. It's a pity that igman's no longer available as it was $16/20.

Shoots the same as 3006, good round, good gun, good choice

I've recently bought some 1970's Romanian surplus steel cased rounds at gun shows for $35 for 50. Nice ammo in very good condition.

Privi is usualy 18 for 20 and remington iv seen near 31 for 20.
