[QUOTE="Varberger757, post: 790801, member: 66992"] Hi again! It looks like as I made a little but crucial mistake. After your answer I was searching on relevant german websides and found also "ordinary" 8 x 60 and its flanged version 8 x 60 R. These conversions were also made after WWI! Versions in .318 diameter. So if you don't see any [B]S[/B]- mark on the rifle then [B]don't[/B] use normal .323 bullets. By the way, I or J stands for Infantry and S for "Spitz". Both were related to the military round 8 x 57 (Infanterie Spitz). The Germany army changed to the .323 diameter between 1904/1905. German primers on fab - ammo for the 8 x 57 IS are espescially dyed and highlighted to show the possible danger by using wrong cartridges in the .318... May be you understand some German because of Afrikaans, if so you may visit the following websides: Jagdwaffensammler.de or Wild und Hund Forum. Regards [/QUOTE]
