Subject: RE: Lets Talk Mandolin Strings
If you're using a tuning like that, your best bet might be to get a set of cittern strings. Citterns are commonly tuned like that, except they have 5 strings in total (so you'd use CFCFC, say). This might be the best way of getting a reasonably consistent set of strings. Use the top or bottom 4, and discard the extras.
