new to forum but have been a shooter and reloader for over 45 years. I live in central Washington state. ( the hot dry and freedom loving conservatives ) about 95% of the bullets I shoot are home cast in both rifle and pistol. I love to tinker with firearms have built several rifles on mauser actions bent the bolt, threaded the barrel drilled and tapped scope, fitted stock. I usually get one done every winter when shooting weather keeps me from the range.
I have recently gotten into single shot rifles breach seating learning the ins and outs of making them group. I am going to post in the correct section my problems with my new r51
I am attaching a photo of the action on an engraved stalking rifle in 8.15x46r made in 1908 by otto selig in Germany.
