G'Day SharpsNitro,

The reason that I mentioned this is that not all M98's and there Clones (and semi-clones) are designed/modified to do this. The original Peter Paul Mauser design, was for a series of cartridges to be stripper clip loaded into the magazine (remember the Thumb Cut-Out, in the left lug raceway) and then fed from there into the chamber. This of coarse applies to M98, military rifles. Original Mauser sporters, may be different?

If I remember correctly, my Ruger M77 MkII in .375 H&H and .350 Rem Mag can sustain this and not chip or break the extractor?
The same goes for my BRNO ZKK 600, in .338-06.

I still need to confirm if this is the case, with my .404 Jeffery?
Just not enough time in a day!
