8X57 JR is the rimmed version of the original 8x57J made for the 1888 commission rifle in rimless form. When the German army switched from the original heavy round nose bullet to a lighter pointed (Spitzer) bullet the groove size & bullet diameter were increased from .318 to .323 & the new designation was 8x57JS.
Long after the army switched many civilian makers continued to use the older .318" standard.
