    Well done moving the shoulder that far. Be worth measuring dimensions, concentricty, neck length etc compared to factory. Is it just the pic or is the mouth slanted?

    tHERE ARE VERY SIMILARS ROUNDS OUT THERE tOBY. The 30x57mm Mauser, the normal 8x57Mauser, the 30-06, the 308. It really is just a >copy, >paste, of what already exsists. And since 30cal in small cases is pretty boring you can understand why its not popular. It would be similar to starting loads in a 30-06 I would guess...

    very close in performance to 7.5x55 swiss



    Seriously this is the most waste of time wildcat of all, which is quite an accomplishment considering how much of a waste of time most wildcats are
