    can't wait to try some of the "good" stuff
    It is good stuff if you are casually shooting your old milsurp. No argument there. I have ran many rounds of it through my K98. I have read that it shoots especially good in a Gew98 with the smaller bore.

    There is some Igman 8x57 floating around. I bought 12 boxes of it from a vender at a gun show this weekend. There is some for sale on EE as well. Keep an eye out for Sellier & Bellot, only one sponsor has 196 grain SPCE in stock, all the FMJ is sold out.

    I don't know how well it will shoot but it should give some spectacular results when you push that .323 inch bullet down a .318 in bore ??

    I saw that too, but I guessed it was just a mistake of some sort. Thats the reason that the NA market has such weak loads on its 7.92x57 ammo

    I forgot to turn on the sarcasm, but yes I got it. I know of the bore differences. Also I have gotten some grief on my use of "hot"... I mean hot in comparison to neutered NA loads. My mistake.
