The ammo is 8 X 57 MM and I found more than one warning about it. The bore measured, with a dial caliper (I'll slug the barrel when I get it home) .317", but the Turkish steel jacketed slugs measure .323".
I've always been a pistol guy, and am not familiar with rifles, does the .006" interference seem excessive?
The cases are brass berdan primed and supposed to be "slightly" corrosive. I'm starting to think the 300 cartridges are a waste.
Am I being too picky? I planned on loading my own ammo anyway, and since I don't hunt I'd be loading middle of the page.
