Just be ABSOLUTELY sure what type of ammunition you purchase. (This is your first Mauser right?).

There are multiple variations in the names for the G-98 Ammunition: 7.92x57mm, 8x57, 8mm.

The rounds listed above are all the same and are safe for use in the G-98/K-98 centerfire rifles, but there are training rounds that have a J, JS, or an R on the end of the designation, these rounds are for training purposes and rimfire only. I don't wanna read about you on the Darwin Awards page.
