7mm Mauser reloading mania?
Posted: 07 May 2018 03:39
This may seem odd, but have you ever been foraging for brass at a gun range and discovered such a large amount of nice, shiny brass that you just gather it all up, regardless of if you have a gun chambered in that caliber?
Well, probably not, because most of you are sane human beings. However, twice now in my recent forays to the local WMA public shooting range I have stumbled upon roughly 40 shiny new 7mm Mauser PPU cases. To have nearly 80 cases of a round that I don't even have a gun for doesn't sound rational, but I am like my dog Wolfgang attracted to squirrels. I can't help it!
What this goes back to is that part of my interests in the gun hobby which include collecting, repairing, and shooting milsurp guns. By far, I enjoyed Mauser 98k's the most in comparison to the Mosin Nagant and even Enfields and old Springfield bolt rifles I used to fix, shoot, and (unfortunately) flip for something new to play with.
So that got me thinking: what new and old guns might be fun in 7mm Mauser? First off, it is a great round in terms of ballistics. But is just random discovery of empty brass enough?
