Nice results, I don't reload any more but the next time I go to Marriotsville I'll have to see how the Romanian light ball and Yugo heavy ball measure up. My Mausers in order of accuracy are:

24/47 (stock beat to crap, bluing gone, and an absolute tack driver, had Ben at Classic handpick it for bore, best extra ten bucks I ever spent)

K98-not quite as accurate as the above but close, action is smooth as silk though

M48A-good milspec accuracy

I was going to start reloading for my Gewehr 88 but I never have time. Love to see how that would do with its ultra-long barrel-
