Hehe, thanks mate!


No worrys Comrade. The struggle continues.(Stir)
Enjoy that Yugo Mauser. Good buy. You may have to seat those projectiles a bit deeper and use a faster powder with lower volumne but inside 200metres, the wee beasties will never tell the difference.

I would appreciate comments on my list and feel free to add suggestions!

Cheers



umshiniwam,

IMO - Your options are well thought-out and your all over/around the fix!

Here's what it would boil down to for me:

#1 - Rebarrel the 30/06 and use it for 3 more generations.

#2 - New rifle in an 8x57 or a 9.3x62 Mauser.

Quit worrying about a heavier bullet than the 7x57 175 grain and build one of these. It will work just like the .30-06.

first I'll admit to not reading all the replies, so if already asked I'm sorry

although I'd go with a whelen, if you wanted to stay the same as 06 you could do a 30 x 35 whelen. neck the 35 whelen down to 30 cal Wink use 35 whelen market brass. you have the cartridge you want, in a gun stamped as something else.

Great idea! You might even be able to use 30-06 ammo in it.
