The caliber called 315 in India is the 8X57. The Indian ordnance factory used to refurbish military Mauser 98 rifles with maple stocks and sell them as sporters. I have seen their catalogue in the 1970's. The reputation of the workmanship & barrel quality was not very good.

but it depend on the metric designation they take. kynoch call the 8x57 Mauser: 7,9 from 7,92x57 IS but manton in the 1925 list call it 8mm mauser and we have a .315 mauser
