Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Location: On the couch a lot now that I'm retired

The roads finally dried enough I could go shooting. Took the M.88/90 for a function test - didn't have a lot of time. Chambered just fine... no recoil with the mild cast bullet load I used for 8x50R... but extraction was difficult.

Got the case out to see no signs of pressure, but there are odd raised areas of case similar to the fluted H&K chambers. I don't think that applied to pre-1900 rifles.

Fired one more to verify the results which are shown here. Comments are solicited. While there are no outward signs, it appears the reveiver was drilled clear through and welded back up. Possibly re-chambered.

I'll inspect the cases closely & resize. I doubt this will lead to a head separation & might try for a 5 shot group.

There's always something different comes along it seems. SW

that looks odd. My does not do that but has a area that rusted a little so I can only go up to 40grn. of 4350 IMR or it cause's trouble extracting. with a bullet made for the 8x56 205grn. spitzer .329 dia. I have shot Lead out of mine. also. ..but your right, it looks like a filed in with weld.

Why would it have been drilled in the first place except for maybe to deactivate it.
