8mm Mauser – 196 Gr BT-HP – Hornady (92298) – 200 Rounds

This 8mm Mauser load (92298) gives target shooters a precise, heavy-for-caliber match round built for classic 8×57 JS rifles. Hornady loads it with a 196 grain boat-tail hollow point match bullet. The boat-tail base helps reduce drag. The hollow point match profile supports balance and consistency. As a result, this round holds a clean flight path and rewards careful shooting.

Hornady lists this load at 2,500 fps and 2,720 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. Therefore, it carries real rifle authority while staying focused on target and match use. The .525 G1 ballistic coefficient also helps the bullet maintain speed and resist wind better than many simpler hunting-style bullets. Meanwhile, the 196 grain weight gives the cartridge a steady recoil pulse and strong downrange stability.

This load fits shooters who want accurate factory ammunition for vintage rifles, range work, and match-style shooting. It does not rely on soft point expansion. Instead, it emphasizes consistency, uniform flight, and repeatable point of impact. Moreover, Hornady’s Vintage Match line uses match bullets with AMP jackets for precision and concentricity. That matters when the rifle has the accuracy to show the difference.

Each box contains 20 rounds. Each case includes 10 boxes, totaling 200 rounds. Consequently, this case supports zero work, match preparation, long range sessions, and reserve storage. Hornady loads this ammunition in brass cases, and retailer listings identify it as Boxer primed, non-magnetic, and target or match oriented.

This is a serious 8mm Mauser target load. It gives shooters a heavy BTHP match bullet, strong velocity, reloadable brass, and the consistency needed to push classic rifles beyond casual range work.
