I ordered some 8x57 Mauser for my brother online from Cabelas, intending it for his Hakim. I received the rimmed variant 8x57 JRS. After receiving it I double checked what I ordered. On the produce page, where you can add to cart, it simply said 8x57mm. I thought that was clear enough and didn't check the "Product Research" page when I ordered, which indicated it was JRS. Whoops, always check the product research.
Got me thinking what other ammo this could happen with. Unlikely, but a site could list 45 acp as 45 auto and then specify it is auto rim on another tab. Any others? Any stories of surprise at the ammo you received?
I did suggest to Cabelas they should just list it as 8x57 JRS on the page where you add it to the cart -- for the ignorant who didn't know to be more careful.
