Based on the barrel markings, it was made to use .318 bullets.

To find dia.of barrel grooves,"slug" the barrel, or make chamber cast that extends into barrel.

Looks like the Gewehr 88/97 Mauser had a 1 turn in 240mm(right hand), Mauser 1896 had a 1 turn in 165mm and the Gewehr 98 S-Munition had a 1 turn in 240mm. I'll have to search for the other.
Kind Regards,
Raimey

The 8x57 mauser ammunition available from many American and Continental suppliers will be .323 dia., NOT the .318 which you are looking for!

Ok. So we are 8mm mauser as i thought. Sounds like I need to slug the barrel to confirm the diameter will do.

steve white,
I have a "pile" of Rem.8mm/170gr bullets for their 8mm Mauser ammo.These bullets measure .3215",which was one of the things they did to hold the pressure down,together with "light"loads.
B.Dudley
If Rem.8mm Mauser won't chamber,call Buffalo Arms.They have a selection of .318 bullets and sell custom loaded ammo.They may have 8x57I( they may list it as 8x57J)ammo for sale.BTW, if they don't show it on their website,call anyway.
Mike
