I keep hearing that you shouldn't shoot modern hunting loads in these old rifles. I've been shooting privi partizan in it, but I want to take it hunting in the fall and use Core-Lokt, but not if my gun is going to blow up. I have no idea how old it is, as I don't know how to read the any of the stampings on it (maybe someone could tell me where to learn that stuff?) I know its a real German Mauser as its got the eagles and swastikas.
