Hey guys. Got an old sporterized Spanish mauser.
Controlled round feed, so it doesn't feed hollowpoints or cast lead.
I have no interest in a rifle that only feeds FMJ.
Effectively, this means I own a single shot rifle in a mediocre and obsolete cartridge.
Was considering rebarreling it to something interesting, and since I paid 75 dollars, might as well have some fun.
It's gotta be limited to low pressure, and 3.4" length to eject a loaded round.
Any opinions on a fun cartridge for a single shot?
Probably a black powder big bore cartridge, since I don't think a small ring mauser is good for 458 win mag.
Maybe 50-90, if the bolt face is big enough to open up?
Or like 9,3x62, although that may be too much.
Opinions are appreciated.
