How is the milsurp market these days?

I read that the 7mm mausers were built for 173 gr RN bullets by Paul Mauser.
What are the best commercial made ammo options for 7mm Brazilian Mauser mod98?
I know that PPU makes 139gr and S&B 140gr.
Thanks!

S&B 173g spce grouped best for my Venezuelan 7mm Mauser carbine. I also fired the lighter grain rounds you listed, they grouped okay, but my Mauser liked the heavier bullets.

Oh okay. Just asking as I have some used brass that I had thought about giving away.

Guess I'll take it to the recycler for scrap value.

Thanks again for your help.

This book looks like a great source for Finnish Mosins . I had a little chat with him. He sounded like a super nice guy. I ll acquire one once Uncle Sam sends me some refund

I picked up that book back around Christmas time and it's a great resource for Finn Mosin's, lots of details and great pictures explaining the various models.

Absolutely, it's actually a good deal at $100 bucks or whatever I paid for it. If they don't do another printing it will go way up in value down the road. I'm currently in the M28 chapter and I've learned quite a bit.
