- --- THE POOR MAN'S MAGNUM<br />
NEW SHORT MAGNUM FROM SWEDEN INCREASES<br />
8 MM MAUSER POWER WITH MINIMUM ALTERATION<br />
HE 8 MM MAUSER can be and should<br />
T be one of the best big game cartridges,<br />
yet in the United States it has<br />
been deliberately low-rated and shoved<br />
to the tag end of ammo development.<br />
They talk about the .30-30 as being so<br />
widely used, but the truth is that in<br />
many parts of the world where hunters<br />
have never heard of the .30-30, the<br />
8 mm is the top favorite of the hunting<br />
fraternity.<br />

But in the U. S. lack of decent 8 mm<br />
ammo is rough on the gun fan. While<br />
there are many 8 mm rifles in the<br />
U. S., all of them imported and most<br />
of them German, there is only one<br />
bullet weight and one loading avail-<br />
able. For some reason the 7 mm<br />
Mauser is used in the States but its<br />
bigger 8 mrn brother has just never<br />
caught on. However, there are lots of<br />
8's around, ranging from the long GI<br />
