My experience with M1903 M/S barrels is that they all measure .268" in the grooves. I use nothing but Hornady 160 grain .267" bullets intended for the Mannlicher Carcano.




Now that really is interesting and addresses my original query xausa.
Did you somehow slug your barrel before trying those bullets, or did you just take a flyer & try it?


I am not Xausa, but I did that very thing on his range with my 1903 T/D rifle. He had loads with both .264 and .267 bullets, and I accidentally tried the .264s first; They keyholed at 50 yards. Then I tried the .267s, and they shot superlatively.
