    7x57 surp ammo is .286". Old military 7MM bores are larger than the now standard .284" for 7MM. That is why Jword .284" bullets do not do well. Boolits are definitely more better in this case. I...

    Barrel .992" 12 TPI

    I have come across a rifle barrel. The shank is .992" with a 12 TPI thread. Does anyone know what action this barrel was made for?

    Thank you.

    I know this is work, but you might try forming 308 brass from 30-06. That way you will get a thicker neck and it may be thick enough that you may be able to turn to a desired specification.
