  • commercial 308 in a 1916 Spanish mauser

    I read somewhere that a 308 round that is commercially made is to strong. Is this true my friend just bought one and we wanna shoot it lol

    I've run both in mine with no problem although I tend to stay with the 7.62 NATO stuff or hand loads. Local stores like Gander or F&S have the Winchester 7.62x51mm NATO 147gn FMJ, Wallyworld may have it too. These guns are super cheap but it sucks paying almost $1/round to shoot them, that's why I reload.

    Beer is like porn, you can buy it but it's more fun to make your own

    I have to bend over too far

    I get a boner.

    bareback every couple of days, GTG. Bareback, brokeback, same $hit!

    I joined a support group to help me deal with my social anxiety but I just can't seem to work up the nerve to go to a meeting......

      I would think that as long as you aren't shooting "hot" loads in the Mauser you'd be okay. I'd love to have one of those!

            There was some concern about these things "blowing up" but that was mostly related to the Chilean ones that were manufactured with questionable quality steel.
