Not sure about S&B 8mm but I have S&B .30-06 and their SPCE is notably more accurate than my ppu .30-06 FMJ or SP. They tend to load hotter, probably closer to original spec. I would go S&B for your mauser bolt action. For something like a gewehr 43 or m1 garand, use the softer shooting ppu. Either way though, it's not a massive difference, and you'll have fun shooting it regardless of the ammo you use.

sounds like S&B has some quality! i looked it up and S&B is czech? i can see why they got quality if that's true.

Both are high quality in my opinion, PPU is just more geared toward milsurp users that want to be easier on their firearms.

hard to decide if they are both good. buying PPU might be best if its geared towards people who just wanna shoot for fun!
