7 mm (.30) magazines

Steinar,
The Borchardt cartridge was 7.63mm. The 7.63mm Mauser is dimensionally identical, just loaded hotter.

I'm steping into an area I know very little about, but from a 'metric point of view' I still beleve it's a the Bochardt has the caliber 7.65x25mm instead of 7.63x25mm, the difference there would be so minor (0.02mm) that they would be virtually identical.
Just like the 7.62x25mm Tokarev is only 0.01mm away from the 7.63x25mm Mauser. Which would go bang in both guns.

So.. if I'm right, 7.62x25mm Tokarev is hotter than 7.63x25mm Mauser, wich again is hotter than the 7.65x25mm Borchardt. That makes me wonder.. if a 7.62x25mm Tokarev be chambered into a Borchardt?


The clip VS magazine discussion is a battle for the english speeking (not me), but in Norwegian we have "klips" and "magasin". Two different things, like a Dardick VS Luger
