Kiwi: Yes, absolutely. The rifle is stamped "Made in Germany", the date on it is 1939. I was simply trying to convey when it was made.

Perhaps I mis-spoke in the primers. I've seen "small rifle primers" (.175") and "large rifle primers" (.210") (according to my "ABCs of Reloading Manual). You've made me go back and measure (which was my plan when I actually found some) and I see that my Norma brass measures .210", so large rifle primers. As those also seem to be made of unobtanium these days, it doesn't change my problem. At least my search does not compete with the 5.56mm guys.

The RWS I have are fully loaded rounds, not bullets. The bullets I have are Woodleighs. I know the Hornady Carcanos will NOT fit in the chamber. At this time, Woodleighs are relatively easy to find, the Hornady 160g RNSP are more difficult. I also have a good supply of Norma and RWS (NOS - never loaded) brass.
