how do i add you to a list?
i started my shooting "carrer" when i was twelve years old with the 6,5-55.
it is a absolute fantastic cartridge. I didn't think so at the time. I were so small and the recoil was really pounding me.
now after at least fourty years it is a wonderful cartridge. capable at a thousand yards.
my hunting rifle now is a 308 w it is a very good rifle. a rem.700. but somehow i regret i sold my old target rifle i used to hunt with.(an old gun called cg63)

i'm also shooting my m.98 whith open sights.
i think my gun is a rare thing and i dont want to modify it
Klaus,
The NOE , plain base 8 mm 190 RF at .325 shot well out of my Scout Rifle.
See below :
The 326331 long heavy round nose in plain base also shot very well.
good as the 323471 G/C bullet
( It is tops in my Scout Rifle ) .
Both of the plain base 8 mm cast bullets that you see above are certainly worth trying.
The fast powders with the 8 mm plain base , like Bullseye, Red Dot, Amer. Select, International and Unique would be where I'd start.
Not certain if any of those powders are available to you ? ?

Hi Ben, thx for your explanation
i was looking for a Plain Base Bullet to use it in my Commision Rifle 88
but also in the Turk Mauser
I am essentially very happy with the 471 but .....
American Powders are hard to get at present time for unknown reason
But Lovex is a good replacement for Bullseye, Unique or HP 38 i used before.
Do you find any disadvantage regarding the mal Grease groves opposide to the 471 or the Loverin Desing 190 grs ?

No not really, my Scout is very forgiving when it comes to cast bullets.
If they are sized .325", they shoot well.
