[QUOTE="FlyFishGal505, post: 1726487, member: 111530"] Hello everyone, I need help from ya’ll with a gun that my father left me. I think it is a Mauser but there is nothing indicating a brand of any kind. It sure looks like Mausers I see online. It has “.284 ackley” stamped on the barrel and a couple of serial numbers on it, but nothing else. I found some reloading dies that my dad had labeled for this gun but they are 7mm and 7x57mm dies. I also found some cartridges labeled “to be fire formed”. I understand that this is a way of re-shaping a cartridge to fit a slightly different caliber. Is this what they refer to as a “wildcat” bullet? Can 7mm bullets be made to work in the .284 ackley? I took it to a gun shop and they informed me that this caliber is “dead” and they were not interested in the gun in any way. I refuse to believe that this beautiful gun is worthless, so I need folks who really know their stuff to give me some advice. Help! [/QUOTE]
