? on 8MM case.
I was givin a bunch of different loaded cartridges 2 days ago. Varied from 308,270,303,30 carbine, a few 32 win special. And 6 8mm Mausers. The question is on the head stamp it says, SUPER SPEED 8mm Mauser, anybody have any information. It looks like about 150 grain bullet but not sure.

SUPER SPEED is a trademark of Winchester. It was used until 1969. The ammo is plain ordinary 8mm Mauser.

I think it is 170 gr Soft Point.


Remember, forgivness is easier to get than permission.

I would also say 170 gn and loaded very mild, about half of it's potential.

Yup, roughly matches the 32 Winchester Special, thus SAAMI hopes it won't blow up antique 1888 Commission rifles when the .323 bullet is swaged through their .318 bore...
