    @JohnDuxbury the RRB #5s are full nitro proof

    This model is from 1897 because it has the high extractor location screw
    There were a number of subtle variations on the #5 action but they were all nitro

    There were thousands of military #5s made
    Mostly in 7x57 and they had a different extractor that's screw was much lower in the frame

    Yes, you're right, I forgot about all the 7x57's.
