Mine do... 1919 built Karl Gustaf Mauser
Model 70 and a Model 77 Mk 2..

The first two have long barrels.. the Ruger has only a 22 incher...so 2900 is its limit, without pushing it hard...

I also have all three rifles where they can easily chamber a round with a 140 grain Corelokt seated to the first cannelure..

so the round doesn't have to have a bullet seated real deep in the case...

I use 260 data in the Swede and work up from there...
