Roy, could you perhaps post a photo? I can't quite picture this. Does the end of the bolt striker still have the manual cocking tab on it? Or has that been machined off? Most Mausers had a groove cut near the end of the striker to facilitate manual cocking with the cartridge rim. The Swedes I've...

I thought all Swede Mausers cocked on closing. Same for the German 98's. It has to be modified to cock on opening. As for the rear action screw, that is a common mistake made when someone sporterizes or modifies the stock and doesn't inlet or bed correctly. Be sure the action is bedded...

Roy, I have a M38 Swede cavalry carbine with a 20 inch barrel. I've never chronographed it, and never target shot with it. (except to sight it.) However, I load 37Gr IMR4064 under a 140 Nosler Partition, and it is a very effective round for river bottom whitetails and black timber elk. I...

Right now it's the .257 AI. I have some really effective loads for varmints, all the way up to elk size critters. (Shot placement is a bit critical there.) But, it definitely puts 'em where you point 'em.

Leo, Just about any published data is subjective. When you shoot over a chronograph you'll find disparities between what you actually shoot and what the book says it should be. Sometimes you may be a hair faster than published, oft times you'll be on the slower side. Now you must ask yourself...

I personally like the 25 calibers now that I have a 257 Ackley Improved. The bullet choices are wider than for the 6mm ammo. And it is extremely accuarate. Sooo, the 25'06 or 257 Roberts. Keep in mind that the 25'06 will use quite a bit more powder than a Roberts. I developed loads for big game...
