I've compared CIP dimensions for two cartridges.
I always thought that the 7x57 was just a de-rimmed version of 7x57R.
To me critical dimension are with reason.
Does anyone know if there is a dramatic difference in the two cases.
RCBS 7x57R dies are $126+ for 7x57R. Saw some Hornady in WS section.
Understand there would be SH difference.
Anyone have experience with this?
Could a person chamber new barrel in 7x57 and cut rim recess and ..... ????
Not sure I'm going the 7x57R way, but would like to know pitfalls if any.
Looking at 7x65R also but that is different animal so am aware of that.
Thanks.
