Heh...

I took a 1903 turk smallring., cut it off about 6", and made a case expansion mandrel from it.. it'll screw into my 500 jeffe neck sizing die, and the taper is 10degrees.. and will open up 416 weatherby to 550 !!!!

i thought this was the second best thing you can do with a smalring 8mm turk barrel... first best thing is a ma'ter stake

I use my small ring Turk 8mm barrels to launch cheap surplus Turk 154gr ammo to 3000fps speeds from the long 29" barrel's!

Jeffe, do you ever throw anything away

Billy,
my wife says "no he DOESNT"...

major, I have a 30-06 (yeah, i admitted it) to launch milsurp stuff.. I bought these actions, oh, 10 years ago, for like 20 bucks each, barreled actions.... and hadn't ever thought about actually using those barrels... i thought i'ld dothe remiturk thing, with cutting down a rem barrel, etc....

now, i HAVE thought about picking up all the 8mauser cases i can find, resize them without a deprimer, fill them with lead and use them as cheap jacketed bullets for mike's 470 mbogo (just kidding)

I bought one of the Big-5 Turk 8mm's and did a home sporter job on it. The barrel is rather worn and wouldn't shoot Speer 150's worth S**^! I switched to Speer 170's and now it will shoot in the .8" range. It's my loner gun. I'm into it for about $125 includeing Bushnell scope.
