Hi All,

Weblyboy PM sent about dies.

As for the oversize barrels ..................... don't worry about them just use normal 6.5mm bullets. Steyr cut the barrels with 0.268" (0.008" deep) diameter grooves. I have two 6.5mm Steyrs a Mdl 1892 finished and retailed by Rigby and a project M9103 Schoenauer which the barrel was poorly re-lined and the chamber so out of shape it wrecked cases. Luckily for me Ron Wharton found a new in the wrap Shoenauer factory chambered barrel which Lewis Potter fitted for me and guess what as best I can measure using digital calipers the grooves at the muzzle are 0.268" just the same as those on the Mdl 1892 yet both shoot normal bullet just fine. The Schonauer in a brief test shot the Speer 120 grain bullets just fine too.

I wonder who decreed that rifling grooves had to be only 0.004" deep?

Don't let the bastards grind you down!
