I’ve got one of those in the 358 Barnes Johnson express Mauser rifle I stumbled over! Previous owner claimed it was Fred’s rifle. Can’t get any proof other than word of mouth. Hornady is cutting dies. Hope to harvest a whitetail or two this fall!

Almost all accuracy issues with #1s can be simply cured with adjustments to barrel forend pressure. The hicks accurizer is easy to install yourself and solves the problem.

A set.screw tapped into the hangar bar works also.

Yes it does in fact that's what I did with my 7x57.

I think Wayne Van Zwoll did an article in rifle or rifleshooter about 20 years ago on this

I think perhaps closer to 25 years ago in Rifle. It was after I read that article that I decided to try it on my rifle. It took about 2 or 3 turns on that set screw to take from 2 1/2 inch groups to very consistent 1 inch groups. I think the hicks accurizer is an easier fix though.
