I picked up a nice 1909 action here several years ago with the idea of using it for a 9.3x64 but a few things caused me to reexamine. (Hope to still do that but with a different set up.) Leaning toward the 318 WR; it is "cool" personified, imo and no modifications needed. I'm becoming more tolerant of intolerant people.

Which brings up another question, with a 1 in 7 twist I wonder if a Sierra 52 matchking would make it out the barrel before it turned into fairy dust? Last edited by 1911a1; 04/26/21.

I was starting to get on the 9.3x62 train. I think getting a full custom mauser completed is hard enough with standard cartridges. When you throw in opening up the bolt face, correcting any feeding issues and potentially re-heat treating the action it becomes a much bigger can of worms. Regardless, good luck with it!
