Description
Steinel’s 8×22mm Nambu 83gr FMJ load was developed for collectors, military surplus enthusiasts, and shooters who appreciate properly loaded ammunition for historic Japanese sidearms. Manufactured using modern components and carefully controlled loading standards, this cartridge delivers reliable function, clean shooting characteristics, and dependable performance for classic Nambu pistols.
Loaded with an 83 grain Full Metal Jacket projectile, this ammunition produces approximately 1,040 FPS and was specifically designed to provide reliable cycling in Type 14 and Type 94 Nambu pistols while preserving the traditional shooting characteristics associated with the original 8×22mm Nambu cartridge.
Built for Type 14 & Type 94 Nambu Pistols
The 8mm Nambu cartridge is also known as:
- 8×22 Nambu
- 8×22mm Nambu cartridge
served as Japan’s primary military handgun cartridge during the early-to-mid 20th century and remains one of the more recognizable collectible pistol calibers from WWII-era firearms.
This load was carefully developed for:
- Type 14 Nambu pistols
- Type 94 Nambu pistols
- Historic Japanese military firearm collections
- Recreational range shooting
- Military surplus enthusiasts
Pressure levels were specifically balanced to function reliably with both original recoil springs and slightly heavier aftermarket spring setups commonly found in restored pistols.
8MM Ammo For Sale
The 8mm Nambu cartridge, used in Japan’s Nambu pistols and Type 100 submachine guns, was introduced in the early 20th century. It features a bottlenecked case and fires an 8mm projectile. Though relatively weak compared to other military cartridges, it was Japan’s standard sidearm ammo during WWII.
This 83-grain load was developed to function in Type 94 and Type 14 Nambu pistols. Pressure is sufficient to work both the original spring and the slightly heavier Wolf spring. At 1,040 fps, the 8mm Nambu is very consistent, clean, and perfect for plinking with your classic pistols.
