The shoulder pain will be legendary!Good Afternoon,
We are lucky here in Miami that shooting is a year round sport. Today, I took the brothers out to the range.

Thanks for the reply and info. Reason I’m asking is that I’ve always wanted an “anti-tank” rifle and this seems easier to reload for than loading shells for a Lahti L-39.Bullets are custom made by Hammer Bullets at $4/ea. Brass is once-fired 50BMG at about $1/each that lasts about 8-10 shots. CCI BMG primers and powders are readily available. It runs about $7/shot.

Good info….thanks. How much $$ are these T-Gewehr’s going for these days? Also, I thought the bore diameter on these is .323. What is the bore diameter? .50 cal? Wasn’t a T-Gewehr made in 8mm?I trim with a cheapo chop saw and finish with a Wilson Trimmer. The dies from CH4D, with a two-year wait, are about $575. Hornady has them for about $1500 and a 6-8 week wait time. When I had them custom make mine, their first T-Gewehr, it was ) $850 about three years ago.
No special sizing needed. Just use the "regular" sizing die and off you go. Sounds like you go the T-bug!

Thanks for the clarification!The T-Gewehrs can run between $10 and $20 thousand. While the Germans did have an 8mm armor-piercing round (The K bullet) in .323, the T-Gewehr is .525 versus the 50BMG at .510.

Does this just have a patch added to it and rotated to the clean the locking lugs?Good Morning,
Just a follow-up on cleaning. Recently secured Bore-Tech's Action Wiper and was amazed how much I had been leaving in the bolt-lug recesses after cleaning. The attachment works great on the T-Gewehr but is a bit of challenge on "smaller" rifles such as the GEW 98. With a bit of a learning curve, the Wiper did a good job on the '98 and my other rifles. I should have bought this years ago. Randy
