hello thr Looking at a couple of rifles with what I assume after market barrels identified as Olaf Norman. . Does anyone know ANYTHING about this? Thanks!!!

hello all, Been a while since I visited. I am looking at two rifles which are described as having an "OLAF NORMAN" barrel. Cannot find anything about these... Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have not tried this but its a good idea Thanks!!! I took it out and shot it with the .323's and it did fine shot high at 50 & 100 but they are made this way (to shoot high) Groups were best with 42 grains of IMR4064- also tried 40 and 41 grains and no pressure issues or excessive recoil (for...

By the way- I forgot to ask- do you consider any of the loads I am starting with [39-40, 41 grains] as "too light"?

thanks for the information- Good to hear I am on the right track- as for sending you the rifle... well- see the pictures anyway http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=393595783

I recently purchased a Persian 98/29 Brno Mauser in very good condition. My question is- can PRVI PARTIZAN 8MM (.322) 175gr PSPBT bullets be safely fired through it? I am concerned about the bullet diameter because I hade heard that Mausers can accept 0.318 I plan to test a few loads using 39...

Thanks for taking the time I have thought about this long and hard and since deciding that this will not be sold in my lifetime I am going to have some limited restoration/preservation work done by a pro. The guy who is probably going to work on it will be instructed to 1- keep all original...

Thanks for confirming my gut feeling. I just wish I could get rid of the dark stains which I am assuming are from cosmoline. Any suggestions?

thanks- metal is in pristine condition as is the bore, and all numbers match. I think I'll leave as is- re. ammo, found plenty out there, new production and surplus. I had no problem finding brand new dies, brass, and 8mm bullets- cases use regular large rifle primers and IMR4064 is the...

Hello all, I recently purchased a Persian Mauser and want to ask: First, it this were your's- would you even consider doing any kind of restoration on the furniture and would doing ANY restoration work on the stock diminish its value? Finally- what do you think it would bring if I ever decide...

these targets were at 100 yards

well finally got to shoot the loads with Berger VLD's... I had to seat .110" off the lands due to feeding issue and here is what the groups looked like- I think these shoot well [/ATTACH]

anything I should be concerned about? and if so- what to do to avoid it? thanks

thanks everyone for your comments and helpful information... I am using Hornady New Dimension dies in .300wsm and .270win I chamfer and de-burr every case before loading. I don't think I have set the die for a crimp at all but if it helps it happens when seating takes a little more effort...

I have only been re-loading a couple of months... I have noticed on at least 2 occasions that right after I seat a bullet in the case when inspect the cartridge [on some cases] there is a hair-thin piece of loose brass -that judging by how it looks- looks like it is coming off the edge of the...

Exactly Gamestalker- if I seat close to the lands the OAL ends up way too long to cycle through the magazine... I will be shooting some this weekend and will see how they group when seated at the Berger manual recommended OAL [which happens to be SAAMI max] ...and report the results.

thanks for the reply I have not fired any of the Berger VLD's through my rifle yet- Guess I will try loading to SAAMI recommended OAL and see how they do with the different powders I have on hand... would hate to waste the bullets since I only have one 300 cal. rifle ...

Just got a box of 168 grain Berger VLD hunting bullets to load for my .300 WSM. I have used the Hornady OAL gage to measure these bullets and to find where I should seat in relation to the bore's lands. I loaded a few at 0.040 and 0.50 off the lands. The OAL comes to much longer than will fit in...

I think I got the information I needed - and more... which is icing on the cake Thanks all

here is what Hornady Tech support said to this question: It is ok to do this but you should back off 5% from your current load and work the load back up with the "other" bullet as it may have a higher drag factor so you will reach max. pressure with the same load data but before you did with...
