Thanks to threads on the his board, I have to report excellent results with AA2400 and the Lee 175gr .324 bullet with my Mausers.
Load:
- Lee 175gr .324 w/Gas Check sized to .323 with the Lee sizer
- Liquid Alox Lube
- 18grs Alliant 2400, no filler
Results pictured below were from a Czech 98/22 Mauser at 50yds. I'm also getting similar results from an old Turk M-38 I got a few years back for the pricely sum of $45.00. Have yet to try in a K98, that'll be the next experiment once I have time to mold up more bullets.
It's a blast (or more accurately, not much blast at all) to shoot. I'm looking forward to using it to introduce the kids to Mauser shooting.
