Hello,
I recently purchased two sporterized Remington Bertheirs. They were pretty bad looking on the surface and I got both for $100. I am aspiring to become a gunsmith so I got them to practice on cleaning and refinishing. After cleaning up one of them it turns out that they just have surface rust and the bore is still in pristine condition with strong mirror like finish. After I check headspace I want to take them out to test there accuracy but 8mm lebel is hard to come by and the brass is as well. I was thinking of resizing 7.62x54r. Has anyone tried this yet or know a good cartridge to make into 8mm lebel?
