But 7.63mm is OK too. I am fancy on 7.63mm caliber. It has very flat trajectory and excellent penetration.
I have 1 model 1930 that is confirmed as a 8,15mm, very late serial. I also have an mismatched pistol ( upper /lower don't match) with the upper being a Mauser Banner over chamber that is also confirmed as a 8,15mm. The chamber casts were identical. The bores are both perfect and as far as I can determine completely uniform yet a .30 cal bullet( just the bullet) will slide down the bore...
