BINGO, we have a winner over there. I SAID winner, not weiner. lol
I know a guy who had a 30x378 on a 98 mauser also. The rum cases wouldnt fit a standard magnum face either if they werent rebated to fit 700s.
You can also rebate 378 weatherby cases but its still a dumb idea to put one on a 98 mauser.
It's not like 40 years ago, the proper parts are now available.
