6x70r

Has anyone shot the 6x70r yet.
If nothing else it is very cool
looking. Is the parent case 9.3x74r?

the mother of the 6x70R is the good old german 6,5x70R called Bleistiftpatrone means pencilcartridge because you can good writing on paper wth a softpoint. this was an old one for making small drillings. when they need a new one for insert barrels in 20 bore shotgun barrels the stupids make it from the old. they have to stay with the oldtimer but allways believe they sell more guns with a new cartridge.

The 6x70R has been developed by Krieghoff and Romey to get a low pressure cartridge for insert barrel use in combination guns (mainly Drilling) on roe deer.
The mother cartridge is the old 6,5x70R. The case diameter is very small to get less stress on the system especially when it´s made of aluminium.
Second point was to have meat destruction as less as possible.
You can expect .75" groups at 100 yd even with the short drilling barrels.
cartridges are availabe at Norma and Romey.

This has been very interesting for me. I am a drilling fanatic and have never encountered this caliber. It would seem to be a natural for an insert in one of the shotgun barrels. I'd like to find one for 16 ga or 12 ga, along with boxer primed brass and dies.

I just let my 22 Hornet insert barrel get away from me and am now regretting it.

6x70R / heavier bullets? [Re: luv2safari]
#20628 - 08/11/04 09:10 AM

The 6x70R sounds interesting, as a KS in a drilling. Norma load 90 grs BST, but I would like to see 95 - 105 grs (Barnes / Hornady).
Does anyone know where I might find reloading info re this "new" 6mm?

I have one as an insert barrel in a Heym 16 gauge Drilling. Shoots like the devil, right on spot of the 7x65R below.

As German laws require a minimum of 1000 Joule energy at a hundred meters to shoot a doe (German Rehwild), the 6x70R is imo the choice no one as an insert barrel calibre.

Up to now I only shot one doe and the bullet performed right to my expectations ... clean shot, no haematomes, no meat destruction.
