Hi Jens

A hot .243Win Ackley Improved will do that, with none of the problems of brass supply etc.

Regards

A good friend of mine has a .22-243( 40 degree) ackley improved. Its a hot cartridge that surpasses the 5.6x57RWS in all bulletweights.

The 5.6x57RWS has a very thick neck, that has always presented a problem for the reloader..very diffecult to resize.

Ok..I have an original Mauser triggerguard for the 10.75x68..bought in germany 3-4 years ago.

I have just bought a nice classic mauserstock + I have sights, old scopebases etc laying around + an original BU marked M98 action from 1934 .

All I need is a barrel, reamer and reloading dies.



The 9.5x66( .375 Westley Richards) Vom Hofe fits perfectly in the old mauser magazine box....a 9,3x64 Brenneke is on top.

My originally idea was to make one of the old type longrifles that had 30-34 inch barrels often in 8x68s or 7x57.
