[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 2172515, member: 24284"] Yes,,, but the OP has a commercial Mauser '98. Completely different beast than a SA with a magnum bolt face. I don't see where any of the PRC cartridges have anything to do with what the OP asked about. The cartridge I suggested, that may have been overlooked, would be a 'drop-in' with very similar performance as the 2 mentioned in the opening post of this thread. The .284 case, no matter what the bore diameter, will require feed rail and feed ramp work in a Mauser '98 to feed properly. And, the width of the magazine box, its self, is not designed for the added diameter of the .284 case, which will reduce magazine capacity and further feeding issues. [B][I]Any[/I][/B] PRC in a Mauser '98 is gonna' require a ton of work. I do have experience with the 6mm/284 and the 6mm Rem Ackley improved. The .284 case in a Mauser can be a challenge because of the semi-rebated rim. .500 at the web, .473 rim. [/QUOTE]
