RE: 8mm Mauser questions
lay a .05 bead on top of the front sight with a tig torch and refile it to shape
It may be a little drastic but it's a workable solution.
You might also be able to epoxy a little steel to the front sight to build it up....the tig torch is the best way however.
I'd use the Win 748 powder over the IMR 4350 however....it performs better.
