After WWI didn't the Germans have to
You mean the 8.15x46R, which was a popular Schuetzen cartridge prior to WWI. After the war, since the Germans were not supposed to have over a limited number of Mausers in the military cartridge, many 98s were either converted or purpose built as 8.15x46R rifles.
However! It is a case that has a head and rim approximately the same as a .30-30! In fact, it is actually very, very similar to a .32-40, another popular round for American target shooting quite like the German style.
I rather doubt you could stuff a 7.92x57 round in the chamber easily........
