8x56 bullet diameter-.318 or .323?
      #307831 - 16/11/17 04:27 PM

Bought a decent model 1900 M-S in 8x56. Do I need to slug the barrel or can I assume that it is .323? Have read some articles that made me wonder.

The 8x56MS are all .323.

I slugged my 1908 when I received it and it is .323

From my experience even .323" bullets are often too small for some 8x56 M-Sch barrels. Here are the current CIP dimensions, minimum barrel and maximum jacketed bullet for the three similar cartridges:
8x57 I: bore/land min. .3071", groove min .3177", bullet max .3185"
8x57 IS: bore/land min .3106", groove min .3228", bullet max .3236"
8x56 M-Sch: bore/land min .3130", groove min .3268", bullet max .3248"

My 1908 slugs out at .314" lands and .327" grooves. I have not loaded for it yet.

Good to know.

For now, picr.de seems to work.
