Picked up a Mauser K98 today, made 1941 by "bnz" (Steyr, Vienna), so looking forward to getting that cleaned up and ready to shoot. It takes the 8mm Mauser ammo (7.92x57) - of which, there's quite a selection of modern production brands, it also being a hunting choice, if I understand correctly. Sometimes one wants to be careful using modern ammo in an old rifle (eg M1 Garand 30-06). Is this a caution for the K98? Any particular new production ammo I should stay away from? Thanks for your input!
