I posted that in Wildcats...just wondering? I know there is not much interest due to it being chambered in cheap old ugly MOSIN rifles that still are flawlessly functional.

I have one in a single shot H&R and another being finalized in a falling block....wondering if there is an IMP chamber reamer somewhere....or if I should just sport the extra for one?

Might be interesting in a falling block. I think the H&R is too stretchy. A P14 would be good. Case capacity would have to be pretty close to a 30/06 AI depending upon where the shoulder was located.
Quite frankly, I would just stick with the standard 7.63x53. In a strong action, it will do 2750 with 180's quite easily. Regards, Bill.

I have read that some people here in Finland have made .338x53R with shorter neck and "ackley" shoulders. If I remember correct it was quite a boomer.

IMO Mosin is not always so uggly..... Wink

I was looking it all over...with heavier bullets the 7.62x54R outperforms the 308 with 180 plus grain slugs sort of a rimmed 30'06.

Not much sense in 'improving'

That's what I thought to.

When we were using cruisers for training I always tape card board onto the hoods so not to take the paint off them.
