I am interested to know what Paul Mauser, (I think that was his first name) knew and how he came to know it. The cartridges he dreamed up, 7X57, 8X57, 6.5X55 were some of the first smokeless cartridges invented and are still very popular. I own a 7X57 and 6.5X55 myself. It seems he knew more about effective rounds than anybody. Maybe I should buy a book.
