Same kind of story appeared in Australia, however the gains were due to thicker rims being a better match to the Brno Zkw465s which are notorious for 'headspace problems'. That problem often goes away with European brass with thicker rims ... or loading judiciously to account for it ... or a K-Hornet rechamber. There are a few cartridges were the metric to imperial conversion gets a bit hazy leading you to believe you have gun problems when its in fact brass incompatability problems. 6.5x55 comes to mind as a classic for this where US brass is often undersized in the rim and through the solid case head.
