I have an 8x57JS Oberndorf Mauser sporting rifle style B around 1913 year. This rifle is in pristine condition and shoots very well. Question is does any one know what the bullet weights and velocities that were in vogue around that time.
At present I am using 196 grain Norma Vulcan.
This is a 23inch barrel and the rifle was used for driven game in Europe though there is little sign that the weapon has ever had much use.
