ammo need help with caliber

[Gavelek]

I was looking through my stash and amongst my mosin ammo I found several boxes of Lellier&Bellot 8X57JR, I compared to the regular mosin stuff and this looks a bit larger, I asked guys at the range and no confirmation on if I can put it in the mosin, anybody knows what I got? Thanks.

That is 8x57mm right on the box, right? That is mauser ammo, essentially. If you put that in your Mosin... BAM! Then again it may not even load in the chamber.

8X57JR will not fit in most Mausers. It is a rimmed cartridge made for German hunting rifles that are uncommon in the US.

Really? Huh, I was not familiar with it.

[Gavelek]

can I use it with my 8MM Yugo mauser then? and if not is there a chance to sell or trade?

No. If it is rimmed then it will not feed. I would just try to sell it.
