    You cant rebarrel these to high powered cartridges. Pressure limit is 45 CUP. So you have things like : 7x57, 6.5x55, .250-3000, .300 Savage and stuff like that.

    I have the same rifle- a custom stocked one rebarrelled in .250-3000, it was in the first batch of Leowe & Co Mausers sent to the Boers in 1896.

    Tru flite have .250-3000 reamer, but dont seem to have a 7x57. I was was thinking of rechambering mine to .257 Roberts, or rebarreling to 7x57 as well.

    If I could get what I really wanted I would rebarrel it in 9.3x57. Then I could be happy.
