I am helping a really close friend get his old schuetzen rifle going again. It is an "Original System Aydt" in very good condition, complete with the rear peep sight with multiple inserts. His father brought it back from WWII and it has been stored and unfired for over seventy years! I have done a chamber cast on it with cerrosafe metal, it is definitely a 8.15x46R with a "tight" bore, 0.316". I found some brand new RWS brass in stock at Huntington Die Specialities which I received last week.
What I really need is some advice to get me across the finish line on this:
1. I need ring stop cast bullets. I assume 0.318" are what I should go with?
2. Need powder recommendation and details on how EXACTLY to load some rounds. I have read about using poly-fill or some other material to keep powder against primer flash hole as the charge will not fill up the case, but not sure if I need it. Info like this is GREATLY needed!
He is not looking for match-grade accuracy or blazing speed here, just some bullets that go "bang" and offer decent accuracy for plinking fun.
Thank you!
