K98k Calibre stamps indicating the land-to-land bore diameter in millimeters as 7.90, 7.9, 7.91, 7.92, and 7.93 are the most common, and a small number 7.94.

This was stamped (Calibre Designation Stamps) in front of the receiver from 1934 to 1942.

* See page 74, BBOTW.

The original GEW98 had a .318 bore........mabey that's what it was?

Mauser change the bore diameter from .318 to .323 in 1905 to accomodate the new spitzer bullet. Their designation is "J" or "S" bore

J = .318
S = .323

If you Mauser is made before 1905, use the .318 diameter bullet (or .311,the 303 bullet).
