[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1156370, member: 77249"] By the die diameter you have posted it is close to the 7 X 57 Mauser case. On the case drawing in the Hornady 7th edition as .471 body at the edge of the extractor grove. With your measurement of .468 that would give 3 thousands under size not counting the brass return memory. If those dies go back into the 1950's There was only 7mm (7X57) the 7 X 61 Sharp and Hart and 7mm Weatherby as commercial cartridges in the USA. The 7mm and 8 mm in my 1963 Hornady book printed in 1967 just list them as 7 mm followed by (7 X 57) and the 8 mm followed (8 X57). A call to Lyman may be a quick way to verify the markings. Good Luck ion your quest. [/QUOTE]
