Thanks, elkhunter!

How did you do it, if that's not revealing a trade secret?

So what you're saying is you have a correctly chambered Mexi Mauser to hunt with, and the old brass you have may have been run through a crappy oversize chamber not worthy of using again......

IMO most chambers are not cut reasonably small enough to not show a bubble just in front of the web. Undersize brass is also a nagging chronic problem as well.

In today's world SAAMI should tighten it's standards and EXPECT ammo and rifle manufactures to EASILY produce to a new, tighter norm.


Yes sir; well said that’s exactly right and I agree.
