Hi Gang:
I am shocked that this cartridge has not become more popular.
The 7/08 seemed to catch on and is doing well as a deer cartridge etc.
The 7mm Mauser has a greater capicity and a sharper shoulder which may be more "modern."
I can only guess that the mauser round is loaded to low preessures to be used in older actions.
What do you think of taking a .257 +P case necking it to the 7mm Mauser and loading it to modern pressures? Would this add new life to a great cartridge?
Then again, who needs the Mauser when there is the great .280 Remington?
Any thoughts?
Stay well,
Zeke
