Shop 8×56R Ammo – Vintage Austrian-Hungarian Military Rounds In Stock Now

Explore SGAmmo’s curated selection of 8×56 mmR Steyr/Hungarian ammunition, priced for enthusiasts keeping historic straight-pull carbines active. Available from to brands like Prvi Partizan in boxed and bulk quantities, this ammo is perfect for range shooters, mil-surp collectors, and anyone looking to bring legacy Mannlicher rifles back to life.

Adopted in the early 1930s by Austria, Hungary, and later Bulgaria, the 8×56 mmR replaced the older 8×50 mmR Mannlicher cartridge and became the standard for rifles like the Steyr-Mannlicher M1895/31 and various machine guns. Designed to boost velocity and range with a rimmed, bottleneck case, it delivers stout performance and reliability in its era’s firearms. Today, it remains prized by mil-surp aficionados who enjoy the distinctive “thud” and nostalgic experience of shooting vintage Mannlicher rifles—and reloaders often appreciate the challenge and satisfaction of tailoring loads for its unique groove diameter.
