Have real boxer primed correct cases and jacketed 205 grain .329' bullets, but none of my reloading manuals even have this round. Which surprises me because you can get the rifles for way under $100. The only rifle powders I have on hand are 414 and H4895.

Add 5% to the starting loads for the Mauser and work up from there.

Finally settled on 49 grains of H4895, but now I got a hold of some 150 grain bullets, so need to start all over.
