Isn't the 308 based off the 30-06? Just askin'
Since the 30-06 is based off the 8 mm Mauser - I'd say yes. 8 x 57 is the granddad of many popular CF cartridges including the 6 BR and even the "wonder" cases -the Creedmoors.
Without doing any research, to back this up I will say I have always been under the impression that the 308 was designed to match the performance of a 300 Savage?
They are all based off of the original .473 head diameter as found in the 7mm Mauser of the late 19th century..
That’s what they say.
220 Beggs, 6mm Beggs, 22 PPC, 22 PPC Short, 6PPC, 30PPC, etc.
6bra at 1525 yards and it wasn’t difficult to get hits.
Nice looking rig there Bro. Care to share the details?
You bring up a good point. ”Wildcats ” from the Br family hold their own at 1K and use less powder and have less recoil which is a big plus in my book
Sure, it’s your fault I had this made anyways, thank you. That rifle has been a PIA for 15+ years. I originally had it built into a 6BR and it never would shoot like a 6BR should, mediocre at best. I then sent to another smith who I’ve used before with good results and had it rechambered to a 6 Dasher, my mistake was using the same barrel. After giving up on the barrel it has sat in the safe for a long time. I’ve been wanting to do something with it, it’s not worth selling, then I saw your model 7 and that was that. I sent this to Zack and ordered a Hawk Hill, 1-17 twist, fluted, Zack did his thing and Sniper Grey worked for the cerakote. I have had two bench sessions. First I shot some 112s Zack gave me and they were .5 Moa five shots. Tried some 125 TGKs and they went into the same hole, same with 125 varmeggedons. I need to retry the 112s now that I have a few rounds down the barrel and it’s breaking in. H4198 is the only powder I’ve used, I still have 16 pounds, I’ll use that until it’s gone. I actually ended up using one of your loads which I thank you again for.
