Siamese Mauser 45-70 issues
After about three years of searching, I found a Siamese Mauser converted to 45-70. Shoots like a dream at 100 yards with my reloads (jacketed bullets). Problem is, the chamber is a little oversized and it bulges my brass. Does Starline the worse.
I was thinking of putting a new Shaw barrel on it. I heard I can have the current barrel “set back”.
Should I have the barrel set back, get a new barrel, or leave it be?
If I leave it be, will I be able to load to Ruger #1 pressures with the bulging issue?
Here’s a 100 yard group using 300 grain Barnes TTSX and 300 grain Hornady HP.

Or can you reload the brass, just neck sizing?
As long as you're not going to shoot it in another gun, why mess with it?
BecauseI have two other 45-70’s I load for.

I read Vintage “Rifle” and Range Scopes.
Got it. [emoji1474]
Scopes vintage though.
