They're different cartridges. The 7 mm Mauser a.k.a. 7x57 mm a.k.a. .275 Rigby, developed in year 1892 in Germany, uses a bullet of 7 mm / .284" in diameter, while the .30-06 is a 7,62 mm/.308" bore caliber. The .30-06 has a bigger case and thus is a bit more powerful. For all practical purposes, both calibers perform rather similar. They're versatile, accurate and highly successful in the game fields, provided the hunter behind the rifle does his job. For non-dangerous game hunted at reasonable ranges either one serves well.

Is 7.62 mm the same as 8mm?
No. These measurements refer to different cartridges, depending on which ones specifically you had in mind for 7.62 (e,g,, 7.62x25, 7.62x33, 7.62x39, 7.62x45, 7.62x54R, 7.62x63, 7.62x67, etc)There is often a bit of confusion on this, as the West and Russia had different means of measuring cartridge diameter - the "8mm" cartridge is actually the 7.92x57 Mauser cartridge, and the Russian "7.62" cartridges actually had a diameter of 7.92mm, which is why Austria-Hungary was able to convert captured Russian Nagant rifles to 7.92x57.
What gun has 13mm rounds?

Is 32ACP ammo the same as the 7.65MM Mauser?
Do you mean 7.63mm Mauser, or perhaps 7.65mm parabellum? There is no 7.65mm Mauser, but the 7.63 was based on the 7.65mm Borchardt. Either way, it is a bottleneck cartridge, while .32 ACP, also know as 7.65mm Browning, is straight-walled. The two cartridges are in no way interchangeable.
On a 7 mm mauser what does 7X57 mean for the bullet?
Let's use the correct term. The 7mm Mauser fires a 7x57 CARTRIDGE. The bullet is just the part that comes out of the barrel at high speed. The 7x57 name means that it fires a bullet that is 7mm in diameter from a cartridge case that is 57mm long.

Remington us 1917 30-06 model 1a mauser action how well do they rate against a springfield 30-06 of the same period?
About the same. The 1903 Springfield used a licensed version of the Mauser action used on the German Model 1898 Mauser.
Why wont your bolt close on your mauser 1916?
IF the bolt is properly installed, are you trying to close the bolt on a cartridge? The Mauser is designed to feed from the magazine- if you single load a cartridge, the extractor may not fit over the rim.
Did the English ever make mauser rifles?
Sort of. They never manufactured the Mauser under license, but the Pattern 14 Enfield rifle was essentially an unabashed and slightly modified copy of the Mauser Gewehr 98, chambered in the British 7.7x56R/.303 cartridge, with a good portion of these rifles being manufactured in the US under contract. This same rifle was reworked to accept the US 7.62x63/.30-06 cartridge, and pressed into US service as the M1917 rifle, of which more were actually manufactured than the Springfield 1903.
Can you shoot Winchester 7mm rem mags in your mauser m24 7mm?
no even though the projectile (Bullet) is the same diameter and weight, the cartridge cases are very different, the 7mm rem mag is a belted magnum, and is larger in length and diameter than 7mm mouser cartridge. in other words the 7mm magnum is too big to fit in the M24's chamber
