I took my 8mm Turk Mauser (1903 model ex-mil) to the range today to chrono some 198gn loads. My aging eyes and the standard German v-rear and spire-front sight didn't help in the accuracy department and I only managed about 2 1/2 MOA at 100 yards.

Gotta love the 29 inch barrel though - averaged 2,622ft/sec with the 198gn projectiles. It'll do 3,000fps with 150gn projectiles. That's enough energy (3,000ft.lbs) to qualify for African Plains in Big Game Rifle competition.
