Looking for some Round Nose 8mm Mauser ammo to shoot, as used in the Gewehr 1888 and Hanyang 88 rifles.

Ammo is also designated as Patrone 88 or 8.15x46R. Not the pointed tip spitzer 8mm Mauser type.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrone_88

Let me know if you have some to sell or trade, or know of a source.
Thanks!

You sure about the "R"? It should still be rimless, right?

There are rimmed versions developed from it, but Patrone 88 itself should be rimless.

Not sure about the R. Just what I read on the internet. I am pretty sure I need the round nose 8mm to shoot in my 1931 Hanyang Type 88 rifle.

Someone gave me some spire point 8mm Mauser which I think is 7.92. I shot a couple rounds and it didn’t blow the gun up, so maybe the barrel is shot out. I don’t think it was re-barreled for the spire point ammo.
