German Made Frankonia Mauser 8x57mm Classic

I've been running a 195gr interlock over win 748 and 200gr accubonds over h4895 - truly a capable cartridge when loaded to modern pressures!

Handload dude!! Domestic 8x57 is loaded piss-weak for the Gew88's. If you dont wanna pay for PRVI, handloading is the only way to unleash the full potential of one of the best cartridges ever developed. Full power 198gr loads seem to be the most accurate IMHO.

Still the same question though - any plans to get in the other calibers? A .30-06 would be in the realm of the non-handloaders.

All gone for good.

Glad I got one while I could then! Thanks for the reply!
