   Primers are never a good indicator. Check for ejector marks and brass shavings, stiff bolt lift,and 'clickers' (primary extraction cam working hard).

   Although not quite as old, nor experienced as you grandpamac, I still manage to make my presence felt at our club shoots whilst using one of my 6.5x55’s. Whether it be the 1900 Oberndorf, 1916 M96,...

   I thought .257 Roberts would be a doddle but it turned into a bit of a challenge. Wasnt helped by the OAL of the Kimber Hunter mag which a clever (Jaco) gunsmith sorted for me.

    I pretty much ignore primers now, except if they're pierced. They can be softer or harder. And different brass is also softer or harder...if a I get a stiffish bolt I will try another brand of brass...

    NZTopo50 is good. There was a thread about this recently. For pure navigation, I prefer iHike-GPS.

    NZTopo50 is a very good app. Free version is good. You can choose either north or south island. New Zealand Topo Maps is fine too.
