Unfortunately the commerical 8x57IS ammo that I have Remington, Winchester, and S&B will not chamber in the rifle, but a single round of 90 year old 8x57I that I have will. I did a chamber cast also - it has a really tight neck.

Thanks all !

Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear.
