So I am in a quandary, they made and honest mistake and the shop is an hour and a half away so its not going back, its a very nice and very old Krag conversion and I want to keep it, but the ammo is a huge problem, so I can either find a way to get cases and dies, sell it, or have it rechambered to .222, thoughts?
