Re: 10.75x61 Mauser

themauserkid,
What a nice rifle and interesting caliber! Best of luck getting it shooting.
Would be a fine cast lead bullet rifle if soft jacketed bullets are too scarce. I do like the Hawk bullets.

I would not trust head spacing on such a slight shoulder. Slugging the bore will give you the bore AND the land dimension.
10.2mm = .4015". That is not the bore or land dimension of any 10.75 cartridge.
jgrabow,
You are tripping over language usage and proof house protocol.
Nearly everywhere EXCEPT amongst USA gun nuts, “Bore” is understood to mean “land to land” measurement ie: the bore of the barrel before rifling.
10.2mm would be the largest nominal diameter (not necessarily exact land-land diameter) of the proof house plug gauge that would slide into the barrel. The Brits did the same thing except in decimal inches.
