Help design the NZHS Forum Wildcat - Part 2 - Caliber

Well it seems the Short Action has won out.

Next is caliber.

Broken into groups and once we have a winning group will refine it a little further

Voted .243-8mm - but a 22-243 would kick ass as well!

308:cave:

Id say 7mm

I vote something 6.5-7mm for energy and wind kicking ass combo.

Hmmm....
Anything bigger will prob have more energy and wind isnt really an issue at ~200yds :D

seeing the aim was for 0-200, i went for 8mm - 40 cal, as it should give really good knock down energy out to 200.

8mm plus just cos I want to see what a 9.3-308 improved looks like :redbullsmiley: (fuck nose what this smiley is? but it will have to do?)

338 SAUM for a handy rig up close but still can have legs :D sort of a 308 of the 338 world :P

Red Bull by the looks

I must have missed the bit about 0-200 yard limit. I was very drunk though when I commented.

I've changed my mind I want a short range bulldozer so want to move my vote to 40+ and just launch a brick to 200m

I like Leathel's 338SAUM idea. It would push the 210gr Barnes at a good speed.

I couldnt think of a better round for what this thread asks... You can use the 100gn pills for goats or wallabys or smaller critters or step up to something abit bigger in the bush.... Its a case that would allow it to be loaded subsonic... the range of pills available are near perfect suited to the speeds it will produce at the distances asked... Its would be an easily suppressed round that would only need a small can...... Infact Ive talked myself into it :smash:

Your "Mantra" might apply to a 270 Rem Mag as well.

270cal 140 Ballistic Tips/Barnes projectiles perform when given a good shove..
