[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 157565, member: 10"] I would highly recommend staying with the '06 size case head, especially with the receiver that is of unknown origin. THis is really not a handicap as you can chamber rounds such as the 6.5-284 like mentioned but in the CRF receiver design I would much rather see you go with the 6.5-06 or the AI version of that round because they will feed much better in the CRF receiver then will the 284 based round. Actually get you a big more peformance as well. You could also go with a 280 AI and get true long range performance as well. I do not like opening up the old Mauser receivers to the magnum bolt face. There are some receivers that have questionable heat treating in the bolt heads and can cause problems. I have an old Mauser in the shop right now that was chambered for the 416 Taylor and the bolt face has collapsed on the bolt nearly 30 thou. To salvage the rifle, we had to find a used Interarms receiver that was in 7mm Rem Mag to convert the stock and barrel over to this new receiver. Just a bit of advice, stick to the '06 case if thats what your old receiver is made for. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
