I had noticed the line; it is not at a point that I use to rebarrel. That line bisects the chamber; I was always taught not to make my join in the chamber, but ahead of it. I also don't agree with the way the barrel/extension transition is done; OEM Mauser is concave, that transitional section is convex...It looks funny...

Phil -

I pulled out a brand-new box of 32ACP made by Magtech, 71 gr FMJ, the exposed section of the bullet next to the case (biggest dia I can measure) is .307". Headstamp is "CBC 32 AUTO", and the box says "Made In Brazil". Bullet looks more like a copper-washed lead bullet rather than a real jacketed lead bullet. Haven't fired any yet, so I can't say if it falls out or not...

BTW: 50 rds of Magtech was $16.95...
