Unissued, really!?! Dang... that's awesome. Oh man, wish I could scope this gem and use her for hunting.
Yeah, funny I was just reading about the SAAMI measuring tools issue last night.
I just meant to verify it for safety. But, mostly, to verify the ammo I have is safe.
Took the rifle to a safe location, pointed in a safe direction, and inserted a single 8mm round, closed the bolt, opened the bolt, and perfectly ejected the round 7 feet to my 4 o'clock.
The ammo looks good, and some of it is obviously newer.
Here are some pics of the 8mm ammo:
Loaded/ejected this one:
Have bunch of these, but are they 8mm?
