The difference is anvil height, a dimension not seen in your post.

I have to disagree with that measurement. Image below shows your ruler copied to where LOP is conventionally taken - center of trigger to center of butt. Looks like about 12.75".

Different cartridge, different twist. (Still confused?):icon_scratch:

When I started handloading 65 years ago, they were packed the same way but the trays were made of wood.

Clips that fit a US M1903 (or Mauser M93) should work for a .30/06 or .308 Win. 721 or 722 with factory-original clip slot.

There have been many 7.62 and 7.65mm Mausers imported to the USA over the years. At times they were so common that using only the action to make a custom sporter was a frequent practice, leaving lots...

In general, use 150-gr data. If cautious, reduce maximums by 3%.

Here's a table of QuickLOAD reasonable estimates (NOT tested data).

Hello Mr. Guffey. I suspect you're confused about the origin of the dispute. The bit you quoted from my post of 2/6/22 was in reply to a question from "Milboltnut" -

Truth be told, I seldom...

41 grains of BLC2 is a significant underload. QuickLOAD estimates the pressure at ~26,000 psi (CIP piezo measurement) - far below the CIP maximum of ~45,000psi. Medium to slow spherical rifle powders...

"Is .004 HS too much in my M70 ?" Hard to answer if you really mean "HeadSpace, but .004" end-play is no problem

You're welcome. Glad the advice was useful.

1. Maybe you're using the wrong pilot - like .311" in a .308" cartridge.
2. Clean before sizing - saves grit abrasion in die.
3. Trim after sizing - cases often "grow" during FL sizing; measure...

Any "donor" handguard would need the steel clips added - they're all that holds it on with most models of issue sight.

The wood is the easy part - just cut, file, sand until it fits right....

Thank you for the compliment, Dick. My woodwork days are done - too old to cut the walnut anymore!

Image shows Krag handguard (for 1901 sight) made "from scratch" in home workshop. Not a simple project only because of spring clips and rivets.

Clip basics:

Wide format -
1. USGI for M1903, brass
2. Same in steel (later)
3. Single lug, for M14 (NOT for M1903)
4. Mauser "export", nickeled brass - 2 lugs for 7mm Mausers (works...

Apart from precision considerations, cases that have been sized, reloaded, and fired several times may crack due to a loss of plasticity from the cold forming the neck experiences. Annealing restores...

Something's odd here. Normal Krag carbine stocks do not have any sling swivels. If yours has one and it's different from the standard rifle swivel assembly, it's likely aftermarket.

Watch out for reduced powder space with HP bullets that may be longer than FMJ or SP bullet specified in data. These short little ACP cartridges are very sensitive to powder space and can spike...

One of the problems with the internet is that erroneous or incomplete information sometimes gets circulated and accepted to the point that it overwhelms the truth.

Thank you for the URL I see that Sierra's powder list is sorted by ascending burn rate, so it's not really comparable to the QuickLOAD listing of 2700fps load estimates sorted by muzzle pressure (in...

The "chart" in my post is sorted by muzzle pressure (at 23" from bolt face). What order is Sierra using? If you provide the URL, I will research.
