153 gr 8mm Mauser

[Lashenden]

Hi
I want to replicate the German 1903 S patrone for my 1902 G98 - 9.9 grams (153 gr) spitzer bullet, 0.323 in dia, muzzle velocity of 878 m/s (2,880 ft/s). As far as I know, no-one manufactures an 8mm, 153 gr FMJ spitzer commercially and I can't use expanding ammunition on MOD ranges in the UK, so the only other option will be to cast bullets.

Has anyone on the forum ever seen or used a 153 gr 8mm mauser bullet mould? Any information would be very useful as I'm considering having a custom mould made.
