Now I'm confused- is it 8x63 or 8x54?



Sorry Daryl, it is indeed a 8x54mm Krag Jorgensen. I think so anyway, won't see the bolt for a week yet, thanks to a very dumb seller and a worse Postal Service, to test fire some ammo I made up.

I got off on a tangent with Igorrock on the 8x63swede that uses the fatter .478" swede case head size, as opposed to the common .469"

I will test fire it then decide on its chamber. If all is cool, it will run as a 8x54mm KJ. If not "all is well" it will become a action donor.



Anyone have/seen any proper 8x54mm Krag brass available ???
