Reload or hope factory ammo is safe? (8x57)

Getting the final touch ups done on an original action and barrel 1931 k29 mauser in 7.92x57 (8x57 JS), and plan on hunting with it. Is there any factory ammo with a 150-170gr bullet that's loaded to milder pressures, or would it be better to make up some mild handloads? I don't currently have dies, brass, or bullets for an 8 JS.
 
I should point out my Remington supply is getting very low. It is hard to find if it is even made anymore. I was able to purchase some PRVi Partisan recently but have yet to shoot any of it.
