Hi,
Would anybody who has both a standard cartridge and and a magnum one be able to tell me what the difference is in the magazine dimensions.
Standard: https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/S5940485
Magnum: https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/S5940496
I have an AV that I have had rebarrelled into a 404 Jeffery. This is a considerably fatter cartridge than a the standard '06 width. In order to feed optimally, the magazine should be wide enough so that each cartridge case gets support from the magazine walls and the surrounding cartridges.
Longer and better explanation here: http://castboolits.gunloads.com/sho...VZ-24-Mauser&p=3946608&viewfull=1#post3946608
The ideal dimensions for the magazine width would be (for the 404 Jeffery)
25.8mm, or 1.013" in the rear
23.8mm, or 0.938" in the front
If anyone has the time to look and measure I'd be very grateful.
