Mauser action and 500 Jeffery

Hi All!

I opened a new topic for this even there are lots of subjects considering The Big J

So i´d like to know i any of you have experience of building 500 Jeffery in std. surplus military Mauser rifle 8x57 (yogoslavian) i think. Should i give a try??

I´m a bit worried about feed of fat cartridge and size of bolt head. CIP drawings that i managed to find says case head for Jeffrey is 14,61mm which is .5752"
Pressure (Pmax) of Jeffrey is 3300 bar whic is about 47800 lb/sq.in so in dont think that will be the problem.

So what do you think? Is it a not so good idea which i sould forgot and a buy somewhere a decent modern action.

Sorry my not so fluent english but...
