Re: My new 9x58.5r Sauer DR

Claydog, Thanks for posting the pictures.

I am not sure if rifle is German or Austrian. The proof marks appear (to me) to be Austrian between 1891 and 1912 for a black powder rifle.

I recently shot this rifle using 180 gr HC GC bullet swaged to 0.356" pushed by 22 gr of IMR 4198. The velocity was 1600 fps.

I would like to get up to 1800 fps and use for deer hunting in the SE, USA.

Any thoughts on loads?
