I finally found a WW1 rifle I like. An old Mauser. I'm new to 8mm so looked for the fattest .32-40 boolet to buy and went with Meister's 170g FP at .323" By the time I got enough of it in the neck for a crimp, it looked like about .250 jump to the lands, so wasn't expecting much. After an afternoon scrubbing the bore I got a little shine, and a fair amount of pitting. Started with 5 & 6.5g of HP38. That went well, so tried 6.5 & 7g the next try and shot it against my Savage Enfield. No leading was found, so a couple Ed Red patches and done.
