Scorch;
You're right! I've found the surplus Turkish stuff the most powerful loading. The Germans loaded it right at 50,000 CUP, and you're very correct about the 8X57JS being with the 06.
If his barrel is good he could set it back to take care of headspace (if needed), lap the lugs (if needed) and have a fine rifle as it.
I got a new Douglas bbl in 8X57JS and built one on a turk action after checking.
