I saw this on the morning internet news feed. I always
like to play forensic analyst and I have to think he
was using a 22 rimfire.. Even still, it is hard to believe
she could survive when we hear the old assassins used the 22 pistol as favorite weapon.
Did anyone else see this ?

I think those 125 gr 8mm Kurtz bullets could work well for you as a loaded in the
chamber spritzer bullet. You could shoot em low power or resize them and load em
higher power

preventec47

You can buy bullet sizers from Lee for less than 25 or 30 dollars in any size you want.
So you could if you wanted to just resize the 8mms to any size you want.

The way I understand it, they will work with any single stage press

Just push the bullets through.

A few years ago I bought several hundred 125gr 8mm Kurtz bullets and it is fun to go varmenting with them at 3300 fps. Pressure is not really that high but that Mauser 30 inch ( approx?) barrel sure helps a lot I bet. Seriously, that is same velocity as my 7mm Rem shoots 125gr bullets and that is wi...

Griff, you can order the primer lever for it for only

honestly I hate all AR type guns because the open sight line is so far above the bore line compared to traditional rifles where the sights are mounted just above the barrel bore usually less than one inch.

Still Bull dookie. Several companies provide bullet weight
and length as ranges or a number plus or minus variance.
That is all they have to do. I am sure they have manufacturing
tolerances. Just share them. what is the big deal with that ?

At least the early version of the 8mm Mauser qualifies and perhaps the later version too. I dont remember when the bullets went from .318 to .323 Close to the 30-06 but it shoots bigger bullets better. I bought and shoot a Mauser only because I had a chance to buy a thousand cartridges for 12 cents ...

Speer only has four bullets in .40 caliber and I was only

it is on the drawings and proprietary !

The article was written in 2005 and we had shot 6 billion
at that time. Now 7 years later I bet it has more than doubled

and be a lot cheaper if they would honor the deal.
