Thread: High Pressure or weak firing pin spring

Using a Mauser 98 for a high pressure cartridge???? And a short one as well that probably would have feeding problems?

"Bush the firing pin" - on a m98 ??? - let us know how that works out for you.

It's 2014, move with the times. There are numerous cheap commercial factory actions that would have been better choices than an M98 to start with. Mauser actions should ideally not be used with cartridges over 45k to 50k PSI max. (Generally speaking, as the quality of heat treat varies so much from various makers and vintages.)
