Regarding my plan to have a Mauser M03 rifle with a couple of barrels in 6.5x65 and 8x68S, they suggested a 8.5x63 instead of both.
"Take a single 8,5x63 barrel instead. The 8,5x63 covers and exceeds both the 6,5x68 and the 8x68 S factory loads by bullet weight, velocity and so efficiency:
8,5x63 @ max. p (~62k psi) is good for: 105 gr 3840 fps 140 gr 3380 fps 180 gr 3020 fps 225 gr 2750 fps 250 gr 2650 fps 275 gr 2500 fps 300 gr 2400 fps"
Basically a .338 on the 9.3x62 case with the shoulder further forward than a .338/06.
What do you think?
