[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2276393, member: 115658"] Good advice from adamjp - my guess is the Interarms X mag box is like the FN Mauser and is designed to work with rounds having the same diameter as the 7.92X57 that work in the M98. Much thinking/design effort went into that mag box width to work with .473 head diameter, non rebated cartridges. Enough cartridge base is needed for the bolt face to contact & receiver rails need to securely hold the round until it is stripped from the magazine. Good choices would be .25-06, .270W, .30-06 and the wildcat 6.5-06 (no over the counter ammo available). Been there & done that - I messed up a real nice FN Mauser with a 7mm RM conversion - unreliable/difficult feeding. I gave it to a relative. Stay with .473 diameter non rebated rounds. [/QUOTE]
