Thank you for that tidbit. I was able to read it before PB decided to cancel the image. However, I did not save a copy. Would it be possible for you to send me one? I can provide an e-mail if you wish.

So, (from memory) we have a 207-ish grain, .318"-ish bullet as a 'standard' loading. Does it mention anywhere what the velocity was for that?

It is deer season here so I have not gotten back to that project but the long winter months are right behind so there should be plenty of time soon.

Thanks again!

Edited to add: Just ran into an NRA article which states: "The rifle was chambered for a new 8x57 mm Mauser rimless, smokeless powder cartridge with a 226-grain FMJ-RN bullet of .318" diameter with a muzzle velocity of 2095 fps. Average breech pressure was held to approximately 40,000 PSI." So much for my memory...
