Steiner,

I did not know about the offset point of impact with wet cartridges. When you initially said "up to the right thing" I thought you were just referring to the Krag magazine as compared to a standard magazine location. Since I've seen no mention of the offset on U.S. Krag internet sites, perhaps it is more pronounced with the Norwegian 6.5x55 cartridge. I also don't understand why a wet cartridge would behave differently, unless it doesn't "grip" the chamber when the fired case expands. KFS
