Oberndorf Commercial Mauser Sporter - factory ammo
26/02/20 11:50 PM

Hi there,

Newcomer to this forum, longtime enthusiast of fine sporting rifles. I’ve just purchased a vintage Oberndorf Mauser Commercial Sporting Rifle, Type B, in 7x57, made around 1940. It’s in near mint condition but I wholeheartedly believe in using rifles as they were intended so I would like to shoot it, more specifically take it hunting.

Believe it or not this is my first rifle in 7mm and I was wondering whether folks here had any recommendations for factory ammunition to use in the rifle. Not too concerned about chamber pressures or anything like that and from a bit of research it seems the major US players (Federal, Remington, Winchester, Hornady) ans European (Prvi, S&B) all load 139 or 140 gr hunting rounds (soft point) in the 2,600 FPS range which I understand from Jon Speeds Mausers book would be correct for a 7x57 of this era (albeit the modern bullets are smaller than the 154gr he discusses). Mostly I’m interested in recommendations of factory rounds with excellent accuracy and penetration for hunting Texas white tails and hogs.

I’m sure the members of this forum will have some suggestions. Let me know what you shoot in your 7x57s!

Thanks,
Mike
