[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1331451, member: 22069"] You are quite right. Rich's work with RWS has shown it has lower capacity, but that is less of an issue with RL-17/Hybrid 100V, and the reduced capacity has shown itself to be offset by superior ability to handle pressure. RWS brass would rule out use of RL-26, though, so Norma or PRVI would have to be used for that. I have been using a 6" drop tube with RL-26. The loads I have assembled, using RL-26, are highly compressed loads. I am using every kernel of powder I can fit in the case, for sure! I am very interested in modifying my bolt stop and ejector. The Berger 250 is just long enough that it won't eject a loaded round. That was something of a surprise to me. Dimensionally speaking, I think of the 77 Mark II as, basically, a commercial mauser. Prior to receiving my finished rifle, I made a dummy round and ran it through one of my commercial mausers, without issue. After experimenting with my Ruger, I had been wondering if bolt stop modifications might be an answer. One thing I had noted is that the Berger 250 laid neatly on the feed ramp. It would easily accommodate one round laid on the feed ramp and another in the chamber. I just hesitate to do that unless I know I can eject a loaded round. Thank you for sharing the results of your modifications. That gives me something to think about... [/QUOTE]
