As would be normal with this purchase. The bolt is in town, but USPS didn't deliver it today. Maybe monday. Anyway, it got disassembled, scrubbed, bore foamed, bore slugged (it is a .323" bore) chamber cast (all measurements say 8x54mm Krag Jorgensen). I dummy-ied up some cases (R-P 6.5x55) with assorted dies I had. I will load them and fire form for a better chamber image. In another thread Daryl S eluded to gathering odd dies for future projects.....very sound advise, wish I heeded it more. I have a LEE 8x57 sizing die coming that I will shorten and lap out to clear the the fatter 55mm case. I like the tapered expander of the LEE dies. I will anneal a few cases and try expanding them, maybe they will be a bit prettier. |
