Re: Use of spitzer bullets in the 6.5x54 M-S?

Allthough i have only used the Hornady 270gr RN bullets up to now, as we do not have all the restrictions on lead bullets that the guys have in Europe! As Kuduae I also have a couple of 100 Hornady RN bullets and will use them for hunting any type of game up to Eland. In my rifle they work fine and why change the wheel???
I have laid in a supply of (now nearly extinct) Hornady #3715 as well as several lots of Midway '.375 270 grain RN blems' (absolutely nothing appears to be 'wrong' with them) that are identical for my precious M1910, and Qual - Cart 9.5X57 brass.
It has, admittedly, been an age or two since I've loaded cartridges for her. In the intervening years California (wherein I reside) has decided that critters can't be hit with lead things.
That leaves me with components for hundreds of rounds of target ammo (which may be used on critters if I cross a state line to shoot them) and a desire to know what 'certified non lead' projectiles others have used with success in an MS Model of 1910.
Perhaps a good topic for another thread: unleaded fuel fur der 'pre WW2' Mannlicher Schoenauer?
