    8.15 x 45r Loads

    Has anyone here had experience with this round. I have an excellent old german rifle in this cartridge. it is complete with original sights and a set trigger. It is marked for smokeless powder. I know i can make brass from 32-40 or 32 Win. Spl. I would like information on cast boolits.

    I had Tom at Accuratemolds.com cut me a stopring bullet because my rifle has a way lone lead from case to rifling.

    In fact i ended up using 30-30 brass as is and just run it through the FL die.



    Group #2 is 14.2grains Vv N110 for @1400fps at 55yds with irons out of my small ring Mauser.

    Man as I get into older & more European rifles I keep stumbling upon this 8.15mm & thinking I aughta get one someday. Price of admission looks hefty, though.
    I collect exotic ammo, if you have something interesting let me know.
