Re: Thoughts on the 6x70mm Rimmed?

Quote:

Some more questions.

Given the standard bullet weight of the cartridge seems to be a 90 gr projectile ...

What sort of twist rate do the barrels have?

Secondly if the twist rate is designed for a 90 gr projectile, how do you think a 60, 70, and/or 75 gr projectile would perform in it?

Thirdly as above, but with reduced power loads?

Assume for the moment, a single barrel rifle, then also answer if the rifle was a double barrel?

Thanks.




John

the twist rate is a standard 1 in 10"

the lighter bullets should do all right as well, i will experiment a bit with the heavy ones (100-120 grains) when it is set up and tell you about the results.

i dont think you will need to reduce the loads as it really is a pussy cat to shoot and the report is very very mild.

these answers would go for both a single shot and a double.

if you come this year you will be abel to shoot both styles

best
