[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 816751, member: 48043"] [URL]http://www.gunvaluesboard.com/i-have-an-old-8mm-rifle-with-the-name-loewe-berlin-1890-on-t...-8348433.html[/URL] may be of some help to you..... remember there are two versions of the 8mm mauser cartridge. The original had corrosive priming, cordite powder, and a 210 ish grain silver colored (in my brother's example) full patch round nose with a .318" diameter. The more modern version was a 150 ish grain spitzer fmj loaded with normal powder at higher pressure. That usually is called the js version. I'd have a gunsmith give it a once over before I pulll the trigger on that one. [/QUOTE]
