Better news now though.
Have ordered a set of re-loading dies for 8x57 which will load 8x60 by adding a 10cent piece to the set up. Also ordered 500 Partizan bullets for about 49€/£34/$66
Can't get any brass till end Augustish so will have to shoot 20 then race home and re-load them!
Things are getting better

These were the last 7 rounds of 20. The target was at 100mtrs and was a 200mtr target. Fired from prone unsupported.
Ammo:- NORLASCO 8x60S FMJ 196grains / 12.7 grammes. All 20 rounds were scoring rounds so not too bad for the first time out.
Will be re-loading this week I hope with lighter round and Tubal 3000 powder. Rifle worked perfectly and no jams. Bore is crisp and clean. Just need some ammo clips to make it even easier.
I have to admit to having a problem with my varifocal glasses so may investigate an appature sight. Anyone have any info?

As to apperture sights hope Joe dosnt see this mojo do a set for the mauser. I have a set they work fine.
I took them off mine couldnt put up with the guilt.
Joe scowling at me every time I turned up with them on at the range was to much.
