[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1885213, member: 77249"] It may be better to base the build on a Standard action instead of a short action. The 7X57 Mauser to shoot the long 175 gr. round nose lists O.A.C.L. 3.070". If it is the rifle weight you are looking at, Is the reason for using a short action. The 7mm/08 with a stronger case that would fit in a short action may be a better choice. If you want to build a 7X57 mm Mauser Rifle. The 308 Win. Metric name is 7.62X51mm, (OACL 2.800) The 30-06 Spg.'s Metric name is 7.62X63mm. (OACL 3.340) At 57mm long the 7X57mm is about exactly between them. The .270 free space in a standard action would be nice to have for long bullets. Just a thought to save problems on this build. [/QUOTE]
