A friend of No.1 son has just bought a K-98 to start shooting "service match". He wanted a Schmidt Rubin, but the prices are even sillier than K-98 askings these days.

I have not loaded this cartridge for over twenty years. I still have a nice set of Lyman dies and a swag of berdan-primed cases. but that is not much help to the young fella. I have the RWS Berdan primers (5627) and the de-capping gear, but I suspect "proper" Boxer cases would be better received.

The sticking point seems to be decent 150 grain bullets, especially here in Oz. As MOST matches are shot at less than 500m, there is little point in playing with the "heavy" bullets, especially at the price they are here in Oz.
