So I was doing some research and because I'm awfully fond of the swift cartridge I was thinking AFTER I play extensively with the 8mm Mauser ( when and if I can buy ammo/reloading components) I MIGHT want to convert it to the swift. Considering the head Diameter is actually the same and the swift is shorter is there really much I would have to do to the bolt/claw and feed rails etc? thoughts and opinions. Again I doubt I'll ever convert because I really like the 8mm just me thinking.
