[QUOTE="rifletuner, post: 850738, member: 26"] Hi Ross Thats awesome! Thanks for all the info. That does prompt me with a bunch more questions, so I hope you dont mind (incidentally, nice how you brought the thread back on topic due to the barrel rebore to 338! ;)). It looks like the barrel profiles you have used are all on the long side, in heavy contours - I take it you do not experience any negative issues hanging this much barrel off the action? Mausers are not renowned either for tack-driving accuracy or stiffness (or have much tenon for that matter), so I was worried the action just may not stand a heavy profile. It doesn't look to have been the case for you, so gives me a bit more confidence for my planned project. Did you do any other work to the action to true it up prior to the barrel work? All my Zastava (Mark X / Daly) actions are rough out of the factory. I intend to polish up the raceways, but wondered if they would benefit from a full-on blueprint. What performance/ballistics are you getting from the 338 RCM? I am interested in the mid range 388s, and the 338/375 Ruger seems to have some good potential here as an easy to form, beltless case. I know thats not the same as the DCM, but your findings with the DCM version s still worthwhile data to bear in mind. Lastly, what die set are you using fr the 7mm/375 Ruger? That cartridge also seems to have a lot of potential, and is something I am seriously considering for another project. [/QUOTE]
