    Safe to Shoot in a 7x57 Spanish Mauser M1916

    I picked up a Spanish Mauser M1916 in 7x57 a couple of months ago in excellent condition (manufactured in 1922). It functions perfectly and I have run about 40 rounds of commercial 7x57 ammo through it with no problems. Yesterday, I picked up a bunch of 7x57 reloaded ammo at an auction (along with an interesting .32 caliber Astra 300 but that is a different story). I am wondering if this ammo is safe to shoot in my M1916. Each lot is marked with what I assume is reloading data (I know nothing about reloading). Can some of you with reloading knowledge advise if these different rounds would be safe to shoot? Thank you and I apologize for the long list:

    165gr Cast
    155gr JSP 40gr IMR4320
    154gr JSP 38.5gr IMR4320
    145gr Cast 43.1gr 4451
    165gr Cast 27gr 4198
    160gr Cast 35gr WW748
    165gr Cast 26.8gr IMR4227
    145gr FML 41gr LP Military
    140gr JSP 42.6gr IMR4320
    150gr JSP 39gr IMR4320
    155gr JSP 39gr IMR4004
    146gr Cast unk IMR4451
    145gr JSP 45gr IMR4831
    150gr JSP 38.2gr IMR4895
    150gr JSP 29gr IMR4320

    Once again, thank you for your time and expertise.
