Good morning Gentlemen, I'm simply overjoyed by this morning hunt. I have spent weeks on elaborating an accurate and powerfull load for the "Grosse Berta" , my old Mauser Europa 66 chambered for the beloved 8x68S. Finally i catched my goal, with a superb grouping at 100 meters, with a velocity of 970 ms, H Mantel bullet, MRP powder. (All load data without any responsability) Enough power for pleins game... By the way, as many times happens in hunting, i had to wait for months before having a field confirm. Finally today, in a freezy windy morning, i had the opportunity i was looking for. I good female fallow deer, walking in a ruote at 140 meters. Good shot, nice placement, outstanding terminal performance. Life is good. [/list] |

Have never used the Mauser 66. That one seems to be the goods, are they generally a sound rifle?. Good eating. |
