The 8×58mmR Danish Krag, also known as the 8×58mmRD, is a late 19th-century rimmed centerfire military rifle cartridge similar to other early smokeless powder designs. It was briefly adopted by Norway and Sweden and remained the standard Danish service rifle cartridge from 1889 until 1945. [2] [1] [4]
Below is a list of rimmed cartridges (R). Although similar, rimmed cartridges differ from rimfire cartridges ( list ). A rimmed cartridge is a cartridge with a rim, whose primer is located in the center of the case head; the primer is detonated by the firing pin striking that center location.

Standard .323" 8mm S-bullets are correct for this caliber though best results are obtained from open-base bullets that can expand to fit the .329" bore. RCBS offers both reforming and reloading dies. When reloading for "wedge-lock" Mannlicher rifles such as the M.88, M.86/88, M.86/90 or M.88/90 chamber pressures should be kept low for safety.
Improved or blown out 68 mm cartridge designs are reported to come performance wise close to the 8mm Remington Magnum which has about 14% more case capacity then the standard 8×68mm S. Examples of 8×68mm S based wildcats are the relatively well known American 7 mm and .30 caliber Boo Boo and 7 mm and .30 HV wildcats.
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.
