.318 or .323 - best bullet match for my Type S
20/09/11 03:45 PM

Well, I finally slugged the bore of my Oberndorf type S and found that the grooves are .32145 (thumb dial digital micrometer) instead of .316 as I thought. For that bore size, is it better to use the undersized .318 bullets? A .318 bullet is very loose in the neck of a fired shell, and a .323 bullet is tighter but still moves easily. I'm taking it to the Mojave Natl. Preserve this year for mule deer. The underloaded American ammo would probably be fine at the ranges I'll likely see anything at; was just wondering what would be best for this old girl.

I appreciate any thoughts you have on load levels in rifles of this vintage. I have load data, but am a bit wary of loading to European levels in a rifle of this age.

Thanks for your time,

Terry
