Condor Zone 8mm Mauser ammo?

[wang949]

I'm looking for 8mm Mauser, expanding, non-lead ammunition. Does anyone know where to find it?

Thanks

I don't know, man. That might be a "load your own" type of deal. Luckily, Barnes does make lead free projectiles for 8mm...

You might be able to find a calguns friend to help you. You're close enough to Long Beach that if you can find the components, I could teach you how to do it. I have the dies, so you would need brass, projectiles primers and powder.

The other option is to get one of those Lee Loaders, if you don't want to get into reloading, "full boar".

I just don't think anyone makes loaded, 8mm ammo with expanding, non-lead projectiles.

I just seen a guy on gunbroker that is selling some 8mm ammo and he has it listed that they can do custom loads:

Looks like I am going to be taking my mauser into a lead free zone Any luck finding lead free?

Are you going to be hunting or just target shooting? If target shooting, you shouldn't need lead free in Condor zones.

I'll need to watch this thread to see how it turns out. Wouldn't mind hunting with my 8mm too some day.

Check Custom Cartridge.

They offer loaded ammo in 8x57 using Barnes TSX.

Found this stuff kinda pricey:

seems like reloading would be the way to go at this point.

Its a bit cheaper than the one I found but still seems pretty steep for a box of ammo.

If you want to buy the components and the dies, I'll show you how it works and let you use my press.
It would not take long to load up 40 rounds.

This was the only place I could find. $65/box, but a box will last you many many seasons depending on what you're hunting. Zero your scope with standard ammo, then fire a string of 3 with the expensive ammo, and make necessary adjustments (if any).
