This rifle was made, and proofed, between 1909 and 1912, so it does not have bullet weight stamping; only military flake powder over St mG, steel jacketed bullet. If it had bullet weight stamping, that occurred later in history, I would not have posed this question here. I don't have a camera of any kind, nor would I have a clue how to post pictures online. I just learned that many rifles in this caliber, with .318 dia. bullet, made up through at least the 1920s, were regulated for 14.7 gram bullet and will not regulate well at all with 196 gr. bullet, or lighter, needing a bullet of 227 grains, about. I had hoped that, with some good advice from those of you with experience using these particular rifles, in this caliber, that I could try regulation with probable regulation bullet weights, but I may have to simply try a variety of weights, trial and error, until I determine regulation weight. Thanks for the help, guys, it is appreciated.
