Careful Bunker, you might attain the rank of 'enabler' without even trying! 

Nice one OCJ, really pretty gun there.  What ammo do you typically shoot in your 7mm guns...surplus, newly made?

About 2 weeks before i even bought my first 7mm Mauser, I lucked into 850 rounds of Kynoch surplus for 300.00

this is from the web but same thing i Scored

What we have going here is a regular menage a Mauser   

Good stuff! That Venezuelan is a serious hottie 


OCJ, what are the characteristics of the 7mm Kynoch?  RN or spitzer? Grain?

I believe they are 140 gr, and are Solid pointed bullets
I shot some the other day when we went to the range , it shot well, i didnt have time to try to get the rifles to point of aim, but Holding about 12 inches low  and using some Kentucky windage at 100 put them in the 8,9 ring with both rifles.

Best bet for accuracy in a 7mm is the original load, a 173gr round nose bullet.

The first 4 are original military round nose, 2 are dated 1896, 4 years after the 7mm Mauser was invented, and 3 years after it's first acceptance into the Spanish Military.
The rounds from 1941 with the CBC on them are Brazilian. That's Companhia Brasileira de Cartuchos, or as we know them now, Magtech

Thanks, I'll keep a eye out for some.

PPU and S&B makes a 173gr round that closely emulates the military round, in spitzer design. Military surplus is often found, but not so much in bulk anymore. 

The 139grain stuff is sometimes not very accurate in the worn military bores with the military twist, also, the longer bullet give more surface area for worn rifling to grip. And another downfall of the lighter bullet is the military cut chamber. Most chambers have a lead cut to clear the longer round-nosed or the more modern heavy spitzer bullet, which means the light weight shorter 140gr. spitzer has to travel a ways before it reaches the rifling, thats another situation that can affect accuracy.
