Just a bit off topic but to my interesting. Have been watching this with interest. My 9.5x57 I just neck up 8x57 and fire them. Now when they come out of the chamber they are noticeably straighter in the case (yes with an Ackley look about them) and a really sharp little shoulder. My rifle is built on a VZ24 action, does this make it easier than a MS? Does the bolt hold the case back and allow it to fire form properly? Or is it more about the MS magazine that is the issue? Sorry to interrupt the thread but am curious.

Kind regards

Steve
