Which model of Mauser is it? That really helps

1891 Argentine engineer carbine

@@bobrobert1123 you can use spritzer bullets or round or even cast. I've used cast round or my 1909 Argentine and it actually like them pretty well

@@kiltedgunsmith the 1891, when first issued, fired round bullets. The sights are calibrated for these. In 1910 the sights were upgraded to those calibrated for spitzer bullets. My carbine does not have the later sights and as such my balistics are pretty whacky using PPU semi jacket soft points. Rounds are hitting nearly 2 feet high. I guess the question im asking is what bullets (cast or jacketed), and what load would best replicate the original pre-1910 military load.

@@bobrobert1123 ah I gotcha, thanks for clarifying. So ppu someone's will load a little higher charge then the old ammo would. So I would recommend cast bullets but you can use jacketed. You would want about 150-165gr range. And for powder charge would be recommended a little lite or low. A good base or starting load would work. Somewhere around 38-42 grains powder depending on what your using and burn rate. With cast you want a medium to slow burn rate preferably slow. I suggest doing a working ladder.a few rounds at one charge then a few at a grain or half grain increments until you find the sweet spot. Keep in mind to look out for pressure signs, bulging and outrigger back out. If you see those there an indicator of to much charge.

Accuracy was great and also could aim dead center 300m and got a steel plate. Velocity I don't have a chronograph

@@kiltedgunsmith thanks
