[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1023653, member: 22069"] I am a fan of the old mausers. A good friend of mine has a Carl Gustav that is being made into a .257 Roberts. I think it will be a sweet little rifle. There is a lot of debate about the strength of the '94-'96 mausers. I believe the current pressure limits for them are well on the conservative side. My Swede is built on a commercial '98, made with modern steel. I load it to .308 level pressures with excellent results. I wasn't about to advise you to do the same, however, unless I knew you were loading for a '98 mauser or stronger action. I just don't feel comfortable making recommendations like that. As it is, you can obtain very good results with the powders I mentioned above and remain well within CIP guidelines, which should still give you a substantial safety margin. [/QUOTE]
