Surely you're not saying a 7x57 is getting those velocities. I am not doubting you can achieve this with a larger 7mm round with safe pressures. If what you say is true I will know soon enough but will not use one until I'm damned sure. I don't like the not and safely in one sentence thank you.

I was talking about mauser 98's chambered for 8x57.

sounds to me like it fired without being locked up GAHUNTER, or the action opened when the round fired. I'm like you, I want my bolt guns to lock up by turning the handle, not with some kind of swiveling bolthead that might decide to unswivel at the wrong time.

Good luck, buddy.

Hope your friend heals up quick.
