0000012086 00000 n However, K98/06 also demonstrates that the Jeffery profile falls within the Schüler profile except very marginally for a short portion of the neck transition, but, given normal manufacturing tolerances, the Jeffery cartridge will not cause hard chambering problems in a Schuler chambered rifle, and also does not compromise the headspacing of the Schuler rifle, since the front of the Jeffery cone coincides sufficiently well with the front third of the Schuler profile to cause no ignition or safety/pressure problems, as the fireforming expansion that will occur is minimal. 20/577 ALEXANDER HENRY NITRO FOR BLACK POWDER.

From www.realguns.com it states: "The 500 Jeffery made its original appearance in the mid 1920's as the August Schüler Company's 12,7 x 70mm Schuler. Jeffery on the other hand had all his .500 calibre rifles made on Magnum Mauser Actions and had a stack magazine which meant the cartridge was held under the lip of the magazine box and had to be pushed forward out of the magazine box into the chamber by the bullet face, hence the tapered case and shoulder. The differences in the shoulder position and shoulder angle are significant, and are highlighted in Kynamco Drawing K98/06. Check out our current selection of 500 Jeffery Rifle Brass Below!
