Hi All,

I have a beautiful 1895 Chileanicon 7mm Mauser mfg by Lowe in Germanyicon. Wood and bluing are mint but bore is dark with sharp and strong rifling. I hoped it would shoot well but it keyholes at 25 yards. Not sure why. I cleaned the bore as well as I could by hand first.

I bought commercial Rem 7mm 140gr soft points to try out in it. Do you think it needs a heavier bullet to stabilize?

Thanks for your thoughts.
