5.6x57
#83636 - 07/08/07 11:57 AM

Anybody got any hands on experience with the 5.6x57? I've never given this one much thought until I saw a Voere Titan so chambered listed for auction. It appears this cartridge was intended from the get-go to shoot the heavier 70 gr class "game" bullets at the smaller European deer species. While I certainly don't "need" one it does intrigue me. My .225 Win certainly won't stabilize the heavy .224 bullets (it's even borderline with the 53 gr Barnes X) and a really hot .224" bore that will launch the 75 gr Swift or Barnes at meaningful velocities sounds fun. Plus the Voere would match up very nicely with my other 2 rifles on the same action (a Kleingunther in .411 KDF and a Mauser 99 9.3x64). I'm broke and can't buy it but the wheels are turning anyway....
