Having a couple of Spanish milsurps in 7x57mm mauser, I handload
to pressures of the carbines era (40,000-44,000 CUP) which gives
me a velocity of 2400 fps with a 160grn bullet, 2500 fps with a
150grn, and 2600 fps with a 140 these are plenty good deer killers
as well as black bear.
a standard 30-30 load with 150 grn runs about 2300 fps, so the mauser is
just slightly more powerful with the same recoil or less, depending on the rifle.
These mausers are a pleasure to shoot and plenty accurate, not scoped,
lightweight and easy to carry all day.
