i have a muuser 1909 and a 24/47 actions that are my newest projects . i was thing of building the 1909 into a 30-338 and the 24/47 into a 6.5rem or a 6.5x55 . looking for some other ideas of what to build on them .

the M24/47 IMO can't be better suited than chambered to the 6.5 X 55, 7 X 57, .257 Roberts or 6MM Remington! This family is ideally suited to this action.


As to the 1909, Personally, I'd stick to the family of 30-06 cases.....and I include the 9.3 X 62 here.

If those are the cartridges you want, then I see nothing wrong with them. The sizes are both realistic and suited to the actions.

I see no valid reason for limiting one's self to the -06 family when the original short magnums work perfectly well. Well, that is, if you know what you are doing.

No flies on the 6.5 x 55 and brass is easy to find but the 6.5 x 57 is also a great option.

I like the idea of turning the 24/47 into a 6.5x55 for the 1909 i would rather stay away from the 30-06 family .
