I was apprehensive taking the old custom Commission rifle out to shoot being the fact that the gun is such a nice rifle. But after sitting down, double checking the bore, slugging it for a second time, still coming out with .318", checking the chamber with a dummy round even though it was listed as 8mm Mauser. I ordered up some .318" that are 196 grain jacketed soft points and loaded it with 36.0 grains of IMR-4064 with puts it around 2,000 fps. With the double set triggers I got nearly a 1 inch group at 30 yards. I never had to touch the sights and the second sight blade puts the rounds two inches taller. Even with the light load, it's got a bit of a punch, the gun might only weigh 7 pounds at best.
I also got an original clip for it and it feeds perfectly fine. I'm going to try it out at 100 yards next after I load up some more rounds, but I will say one thing, this thing would be great to hunt whitetail with this fall.
