[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1351772, member: 24284"] Sounds to me like you have your hands full, or should have them full (with a 4-6" mill bastard file). That Mauser box was made to stack 8mm X 57mm Mauser cartridges. There are times when you barrel a Mauser 98 for a cartridge other than it was designed for where nothing has to be done to the feed cycle and other times much time can be spent getting it to feed,, and it must feed as the system is CRF. Short cartridges are a pain, not impossible. Would I chamber up for the .450 BM? Nope! My time is more valuable than that. The .284 Win. you mentioned can be a "bear", too. But at least it has some length to it. We used many Mauser actions when I was in gunsmithing school, because they were readily available and a $100 bill would buy a CZ or DWM, and $110 would buy a 1909 Argentine complete with its hinged floor plate bottom metal. Most likely your Turk is of intermediate length,. [/QUOTE]
