Buddy of mine has had a long-standing love affair with Model 1917's and P14's. He still has a few of them, one in .308 calibre, that I chambered for the .303 ctg. It shoots splendidly with 180gr. factory, or handloaded with 220gr. round nose Hornady's his reason for the 'work'. He's found a love affair with the .308", 150gr. Hornady Interbond bullet at about 2,800fps in this rifle and is the only bullet he uses in it, now. Others are in 6.5x68 and his first, a custom stocked 8x68 S from 1980 in a beauitifully patterned Bastone Walnut wihch is still killing moose, just about every year. All have the original followers.

The one I had for a time, appeared to be a pattern P14 with an odd magazine opening- appeard to be for the rim to easily come up, but with a 1917 bolt and .30/06 barrel and chambering in a commercial sporterization- Remington Model 30 or model 60? Anyway it fed '06 just fine. I re-chambered it to .30/.338 and rebated the rims - got tired of that round and opened up the bolt for the magnum case and re-chambered it to .300 Win. Mag. and it fed ALL those too, perfectly, without any modification - maybe I was just lucky.
