There's a simple, minimally-invasive modification that I do to some Mausers that I don't want to go the full sporter route on- - - - -ream the chamber to 8MM-06. That was a popular conversion back in the 1950's when the only 8MM ammo available on this side of the pond was Berdan primed and very difficult to reload, and milsurp -06 brass was available by the truckload. The brass was easy to fireform once the chamber was reamed correctly.
