Have a friend who picked up a nice looking 8MM Mauser, with all matching numbers. Unfortunately after cleaning the barrel thoughly, the barrel looks fairly pitted.
So I have suggested that he shoot a a couple of dozen cast bullets, to essentially lead lap the barrel before going back to copper jacketed bullet.
Does it make sense?
Also what would a decent load of a 168 grain cast bullet be? Preferably with VV powders.
