Here's a nice long thread on the incident on Pafoa;

The 3 "kids" had robbed 2 others within an hour of this crime.
The 16 year old whi got killed was on probation, and wearing an ankle bracelet which was put on him a few hours previously. He was told to go to school at that time by the police.
Instead he and his friends decided to go rob some...
See the link below, scroll down to the .223 H20 capacity chart.
Note that the 2 cases with the highest water capacity are LC 06, & WCC99, Military Cases. That's a volume measure.
Also note that there isn't an extreme difference in the volumes between case types...
Consistency is the key to accurate ammo.
If you only use 1 headstamp, it will be more consistant than mixed.
If you have all of your brass from 1 lot of a certain headstamp that's better yet.
Weigh sorting will also help, as that is an indicator of case volume.
Whether you actually see...
There is a very long thread on these guns on machinegunboards.com, general opinion is the buyer bought the story, no documentation....

Try going a bit shorter on your oal. there should be very little shoulder on a SWC.
Also what mags are you using?
The feed lips need to be made for SWC bullets. Mags designed for "ball" may or may not work.

Just remember, it'll most likely be COLD (hence Battle of the Bulge), minimal lube, and you may want to strip your bolt and clean out the firing pin channel.
We had 2 guys with "brand new" Mausers last year, the cosmolene in their bolts froze, and they had to drop out.....
I've got a 76/45, I love it.
Of course if you look at my username, you'll understand why I don't go for 9mm.
It's a great gun for what it is...FA only, kind of heavy, fairly fast rate of fire.
If you reload for .45 you're good to go.
I say go for it!!
I'm Cross Posting this because maybe some of the C&R folks don't check out the competitions forum.
If this isn't OK just delete it.
We'd love to see some "more exotic" WWII rifles show up.

Any WWII Rifle welcome. Most use a Garand, K98, or Enfield. Lets see an Arisaka?, or Carcano? Last year we had an SVT-40.

The father of a coworker has one.
He bought it for $300 about 15 years ago, all matching, but someone welded a sling loop on the front barrel band, and screwed a swivel into the bottom of the stock.
It shoots pretty good.
I tried to use it in our clubs "Battle of the Bulge" shoot Jan 3 years...
