Hello,
New here. I make my own cartridges for my Mauser C96 cone hammer antique. I notice great precision/grouping with weighing the corresponding milligram quantity right down to the milligram. I use 380mg of Vihtavuori N-340 (5.86 grains) and I have both Sierra 85 grain and Hornady 86grain bullets. Very fun hobby to figure out the powder quantity to finally make my C96 cycle properly. It is at the low end; 1050fps, but I am getting some Power Pistol powder and I can apparently get 1400fps, which I would keep lower at maybe 1200fps at most because it is an old gun.
My Cone Hammer C96 is a rare low serial number fixed sight and 4.75” barrel pistol with matching serial numbers throughout. Glad I got into this hobby recently!
Who else has a Mauser C96?
I am going to be trying titegroup powder along with Power Pistol soon, should be fun.
