8 mm Mauser Cast question
Well i did the unthinkable and bought a rifle that I have no dies / brass or bullets for
its a Husqvarna Commercial Fn98 in 8x57 and when I saw it I thought rebarrel to 358 winchester as I have looked for a 358 and have not found one in my price range. been looking for a savage 99 in 358win for about 5 years passed on the last 2 i saw as they had been molested and too much $$
My Problem is when I got it home handled it cleaned and bore scoped the barrel.
I like it the way it handles / the weight / feel / balance :) :) ;) Barrel still needs a brush but looks excellent
It has a few problems cracked toe on the stock / no butt plate ...it came with a tasco scope and mounts (mounts were loose)
Question how cast friendly is the 8 mm Mauser thinking pinking round 100/200 yards max 300
Bonus it came with express rear sight
I have 30-06 brass as I load for m1 garand and a 35 wheelen
358 win was to be a pistol bullet plinking fun rifle but this one is too nice to do that to
