Mauser 88 calibers?
19/09/17 09:34 AM

Well, its better to be lucky than it is to be good...

Won $20 in a pin shoot
The Ruger #1 that I was gifted with (that had some light fire damage) doesn't look as if it will need a rebarrel.
And my safety glasses worked exactly as designed when I test fired the M88 from this post

Nothing terrible. Some gas slipped past the case and with glasses no damage or concerns. I was shooting a .318 196gr rn with 40gr AA4350. Case pretty smoked with a shoulder diameter that should have been .440 expanding to .460

After all of the measurements that I took I probably should have done a chamber cast first. Whatever the chambering is, it is NOT an 8x57. OAL dimensions seem ok, but the base is about .473 addition to the shoulder issue.

Any thoughts?

Tom

* don't have all of the dimensions, but those measurements match the 9.5x57 Mannlicher except in .318!?
