Hi, jimbob,

I have not been able to find the original pressure standard for the 8x57J (1888) military cartridge. Nor did I find any reference indicating that converted M1888 rifles failed in service.

Since you have access to better info than I do, I would appreciate references or links. Thanks.

Jim
