10,75 x 68 Mauser igen..igen.
Har "fundet" en gammel Mauser i 10,75 x 68. Så lagt så godt. Den er lidt af en klude kaliber - min 9,3x62 er mæsten lige så god.
Jeg fandt følgende, http://www.african-hunter.com/reloading_...effery.htm.
My .404 started out life in 1928 as an original ‘Type A’ Oberndorf Mauser in 10.75x68mm. It was used to shoot an elephant in Tu1i in about 1973. The shot was a frontal brain shot, which knocked down the animal, but it immediately got up and made off to Botswana with great enthusiasm. It was then decided that the conversion to 10.75x73mm, also known as the .404 Jeffrey, was in order. This is a relatively easy job, theoretically! The barrel is left in place and the chamber is reamed out for the larger lengthened and the feed ramp has to be modified for the longer cartridge. This involves removing metal from the receiver ring, which if not done properly can weaken the action. When buying a converted rifle, have this checked by a competent gunsmith.
Her er så spørgsmålene: kan en 10,75x68 laves om til .404 Rimless, 404 Rigby el. 404 Jeffery (det sidste er jo mulig)?
Er der 2 kugle diametre gemt i 10,75/.404?
Ja, det er stadig den forbandede bøffel der spøger!
Mvh. Thorlak
Correct first shot placement, the rest is bullshit!
