Mauser Oberndorf 1917. Spent some time in Turkey, long enough to get 4 Turk numerals on the barrel shank. Barrel is about G+ and has shown promise in previous shooting sessions.

This was the best of the day. NOE 326471 220 grs .325" 15 grs Unique. Was the first time shooting these out of this rifle.

I experimented with this monster. Lee custom 8mm Maximum 250 grs .325". That sucker is so fat it had to be seated waaaaay deep in the case. I wondered... But it did fire and print on target at 50 yds. Next to the Lee Cruise Missile.
