Hello All
I have a few Schuetzen & running boar (stalking) rifles that are nitro proofed, would the barrel steel be the same soft steel used in older rifles? Would it damage the barrel to shoot jacketed bullets in these later manufactured rifles. I would like to hunt deer with a beautiful Kettner I have but the first deer shot with it, I used cast lead bullets, they didn't expand at the velocity I was able to get from the 8.15x46r. I was thinking of bumping a 303 bullet to .316 & trying it. What do you think?
Thanks Mike
