So My 358 Win was built on the aforementioned action. I do not know much at all about Mausers. I believe this one was built in 1918. I was trying to do some research on the gun, and it seemed like some people would prefer to keep that action at a max of 45k CUP. The 358 Win loads on Hodgdon's site showed max loads approaching 50-52k CUP. It is a beautiful rifle and I really do not want to ruin it, yet would be nice if i could load it to above 35 rem levels. Any thoughts/experiences with that particular action?

Edit- this was already sporterized when dad bought it maybe 15 years ago. It was a nice clean action so I decided to do a build off of it.

......the occasional hunter wielding a hopelessly inaccurate rifle, living by the fantastical rule that this cartridge can deliver the goods, regardless of shot placement or rifle accuracy. The correct term for this is minute of ego.
