Can you find 8mm Mauser ammo at a local gun store?
Is it a common round to find at local gun stores? What about Cabelas, would they carry 8mm Mauser ammo? Also, what about the 7.62x54R? Do most gun stores sell those, and can either be found easily with soft tips for hunting?
When I said "feed my family" I probably should have mentioned i'm actually only 18 and still live with my parents. I feel like it's something I could really do to help out since my mother just lost her job last month and we've been a bit tight on money. What I want to do is get a rifle and practice with it as much as possible. We still have a yearly membership at a local gun club with its own firing range so i'd definitely make sure I get lots of practice before I actually go out,
I also have seen this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMV7JtDotyU And that deer seemed to go down pretty quickly from a Swiss K31, so why wouldn't they do well? I have shot rifles many times before, i'm not new, I assure you.
