The 8×52mmR Mannlicher cartridge was first introduced in 1888 for the Mannlicher M1888 rifle, an updated version of the Mannlicher M1886.^[2]

Description

The cartridge was given the designation 8mm M.88 scharfe Patrone (8mm M88 Sharp Cartridge). It was loaded with a 244 gr (15.8 g) round nose bullet and a 62 gr (4.0 g) charge of compressed black powder. This gave the bullet an approximate velocity of 1,750 ft/s (530 m/s) out of the M.88's 30" barrel. Many M.86 rifles were converted to accommodate this new cartridge, creating the M.86/88 and M.86/90.^[1]

It was succeeded by the semi-smokeless and later on the fully-smokeless powder 8×50mmR Mannlicher cartridge.
