I know, possibly the LEAST desirable military bolt gun. But it was CHEAP, $50 and the bolt was the same serial number as the receiver. Taking bambi to the processor and got to go past a unfamiliar gun shop. On the way back stopped just to sniff around. couple of Nagants, SKS, and what's that back there in the corner.....
Don't know what model this was 1938 I assume. fixed sights and no other marks. May have been "sporterized" stock seems short so may have been cut down. I have not cast the chamber yet and intend to do so before firing.
My questions.
Can I make brass for this thing? Form it from .308 or '06 or something?
Bullet diameter according to what I've been able to find should be .298 for Jword and 0.300 for cast (preferred)
Can I start sizing a .308 down to .300 and use that? 0.008 sounds like a lot of squeez'n.
Anyone have useful load data. Thanks in advance.
