But what I mostly used in mine was PMC 147 gr. I think I know where you're going with this (maybe), that most of the receivers were originally made for 8x57mm I kind of miss Fed Ord, because their stuff was usually a challenge and priced accordingly. So, just because mine works with the parts it was assembled with doesn't necessarily mean that yours was assembled with exactly the same parts and will work as well. Something to bear in mind though is that Fed Ord's specialty was to create dollars from what others might consider as junk, and some of their creations were sort of "no two exactly alike". But generally those parts have a great deal of interchangeability. It is essentially a large ring Mauser '98, and I see nothing unusual about the parts other than they no doubt came from the manufacturers of different countries.

Is this going to hurt? (The brain picking?) LOL! Answer-none that I can see at all.
