Aug 11, 2008 · After reading the very informative article by C. E. Harris (as posted by rebertbank) I have tried to use cast bullets in my 8mm Mauser rifles, a Turkish Mauser and a Yugo M48. Both of these rifles perform reasonably well using surplus ammo, but the lower cost of cast bullets is …

Nov 9, 2019 · I cast two 8mm bullets. One is an Accurate 32-205B and the other is a Lee, 170 gr. round nose. I prefer the Accurate bullet but within 100 yards one is as accurate as the other.
