UG that is sweet little pointer! Great American Gunstocks semi inletted?
The first Mauser I rebarreled was tested by tying the barreled action to a offset disc plow and firing with a string while hiding behind the back tire of the tractor[emoji16]. The brass looks good to me, congrats! That will be a neat gun.

Texas by God, thanks for the input. That's what I was hoping 2 hear. By the way, I appreciate the help you gave me along the way with the build. I guess re-barreling an action is possible in your shed. With the right instructions of course. At least possible with no special tools if ya have a Savage type barrel assy. Randy.
Gentlemen, I have another update. I finally made it to the local Rod n Gun here in El Paso. I tried a lot of different loads. All shot at 25 yards. I will try longer ranges at the next outing.
All rounds fired were with the Lee 200 gr FP bullet.
The first firing string is 9.0. 10.0, 11.0, and 12.0 grains of 700X, gas checked. You can see the shots walkingAttachment 249599 their way up the ladder. It really liked the 12.0 grs of 700X. Sights uncorrected.
The next string is 9.0 grains of Reddot and 10.0 grs of Reddot, Plainbase. Attachment 249600 Sights corrected.
The next string fired was 27.0 gr 4895 and 28.0 grs 4895, gas checked. Attachment 249601 Sights uncorrected.
Final string is 30 gr 4895, gas checked, sights correctedAttachment 249602
Best part is not a hint of lead. Reddot loads were PB as cast. Gas checked loads sized .358.
Also, I'm a little bit fuzzy today. To raise your point of aim do you need to lower your front sight. I had to adjust the rear a little more than I"m comfortable with. Not happy with how high up the rear sight is.
Thanks to all involved. Randy
P.S. How bout them Sooners.
You’ll need a lower dovetail sight for that 700 ramp so you can lower the rear sight.
Texas by God, thanks for the reply. That"s exactly what I was hoping for. Time to break out the file. Randy.
UG: I like the islands, swept back grip and looks to have just right drop for open sights,the man has a good pattern.
sixgunner452: yes lower front sight, if you can't get "there" then a new lower front sight ramp may be in order.
Uncle Grinch, that is a sweet stock Randy.
swheeler, thank you for the comments. yes, you may be right, I don;t have a lot of ft sight to work with. Kinda short already. Gotta try though. Thanks a bunch. Randy.
I not sure if you guy's are helping me scratch my "itch" or making it worse :wink:
Sorry; I just saw this a year later. Correct spec 6.5x55 cases are as you described but American cases from Remington have a .308 case head. The web area is still full 6.5x55 diameter. I converted a Yugo 48 to 6.5x55 and liked the way the Remington cases fit better than European cases.
