Well somebody has been studying

I think the box labeled "mauser" is mauser... Just a hunch

Measure the case length. 7.92 (8mm) Mauser is 57mm long. .30-06 is 63mm long. Careful, some of those primers might be mercuric, i.e. corrosive.

Like the others said, the 7.92 ammo is 8mm mauser. Looks like corrosive surplus yugo 8mm. If you'd consider selling the 8mm, I'd be very interested

8mm Mauser Yugoslavian Surplus

I had a bunch of that Yugo surplus. It is corrosive and about 3 out of every 10 didn't fire. Didn't care, bought it for the stripper clips they came with. The ammo and clips were cheaper than just buying the clips at the time.

Yugo surplus 8mm is known for having very hard primers, and usually has that problem with non-yugo mausers. I often get light primer strikes with that ammo, but firing a second time always results in it going off. I have yet to get a complete dud. Ordering a stronger firing pin spring usually solves the problem

I fired them in a Yugo mauser...lol.
