Sporterized 98 Mauser isn't fussy at all about loads. Shoots 130-175 grain bullets with powders as fast as IMR-3031 to slowpoke MR-3100 into groups of slightly less to just over 1". Last elk was taken with said rifle and one shot of 49 grains of IMR-4350/150 Nosler partition. I was using the partitions just because a friend gave me a few but, would have been perfectly happy using 154 Hornadys, which are more accurate in my rifle.
Shew me thy ways, O LORD: teach me thy paths. "there are few better cartridges on Earth than the 7 x 57mm Mauser" "the .30 Springfield is light, accurate, penetrating, and has surprising stopping power"
