What is 8mm Mauser rate of twist?

I cant find it anywhere

The Remington Classic in 8x57 is 9.5" twist barrel.

I do know you can get bullets from 125 to 250 grains though.

The twist rate of 1 in 12 was for the commercial hunting bullets in 8mm for both J and JS types in the various 8mm formats ( rimmed and unrimmed) and this was the accepted rate of twist as recorded by the German Association of Arms and Ammunition manufacture in 1926.

And the presently accepted civilian rate of twist, as witnessed e.g. by the indications in the DEVA reloading book, is 240 mm.
