the huge extractor pulling the cartridge to one side of the chamber helps too
In a 700 with the extractor capturing the case head on one side and the spring loaded ejector plunger pushing on the other, how is the situation any different?
The short answer is it's not a bit different, though it would require that he understood the definition of headspace and how neither extractor has an effect on the final outcome of accuracy.
I too, regrettably considering the company; would not use a Mauser for the project, but that is due to the material that needs to be removed from the critical surfaces during a full blueprint that would render the case hardening useless and in need of another shot through the furnace.
The 243AI is a neat round for sure and I've grown quite fond of mine sitting in a McMillan Classic Compact.
