Default RE: Argintine Mauser?

ORIGINAL: Solitary Man

I suppose if I had the 1909 I might also be inclined to experiment with some stronger loads. However, with the 1891 I don't want to push my luck. To be honest, these days I don't do any serious load development with it. Haven't hunted with it in a couple of years in fact. I take it to the range once or twice a year to knock the dust off of it.
I agree with you. I would NOT want to stretch things with an M91 either. The rifle is just as effective at .300 Savage ballistics levels anyway! I have never hunted with mine. Every time I get ready to go hunting, just selecting the rifle gets to be a real pain! That's why I've been using flintlocks alot lately!
