Thank you very much, it really is an excellent write -up about the long rifle....I have a 8x57JS Turkish small ring Mauser with a step barrel 30" long excellent bore..looks brand new, have been standing in a safe for the past twenty five years until a good friend gave it to me...I still need to work out a specific pet load for it, but at least I have one long rifle and will build another 8x68 long rifle....
