Thanks Ford and yes Toys, indeed. I just keep my eyes out w/ specific search terms. I believe the bore will be like the drilling & be near 0.267". But you can bet your bottom $ that if an Austrian tube(pre-WWII) is stamped >>6.8<< the chambering will be the Bleistiftpatrone 6.5x70R. My hope is to find some 6X70R parent cases but for now I am headed toward annealing.....


Hochachtungsvoll,
