I wanted one for a while, when they were cheap. Unfortunately, Samco went broke a while back... There's an article where they discuss these, M1916 in 7.62 - they're small-ring Mausers and about at their limits in 7.62.

HAve watched several videos on these. Most people shooting .308. One guy is shooting the Tula .308 because he says that particular round is loadedQuote:

If in doubt, shoot the round stamped on the rifle or 7.62Nato 147/149 Gr bullet loads. Not a gun you would probably shoot all day or take to SHTF. They are
fun, kinda historic rifles. Use good, safe ammo and enjoy.
