Handy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.65×53mm_Mauser

hmmm so its basically a 7.7mm/08 nearly identicle just slightly fatter...one would guess the .310 projectiles made for the x39mm could be used as well as the usual .312 stuff....
definately useful.

Greetings,
This was the first Mauser smokeless cartridge coming out in 1889. The 7.92x57 was not a Mauser cartridge.
GPM.

I've got a 30/303 Ross rifle apart from the open sights issue, i.e me at a 100 yards it's iffy but at 50 holes through holes

Another redundant setup.

Old cartridge,full stock accuracy problems,old 4 power scope can't see the target.



POA was the black square lower right.

308 on right.

I tried the 224 sabots in 3006.
Rubbish accuracy.
Shot one hare at 40m.
Impressed the rellies with their 22s.

Let's face it. It is typical of them trying to cover everything with weasel words but still don't do it properly.
They could have mentioned normal sporting sabot ammunition as ok and it wouldve been clear as crystal.
I doubt they even thought of them as there is bugger all about.
It wouldve been all about military stuff etc which of course we were all into along with ARs, AKs etc and why we are all so scary to them.

Yep, 204 is awesome. Does most of what the 22-250 can do with less bang and less recoil.

But not a fat bum with a fast twist and heavier pills.

it could be argued no need for .22 hornet or .222 once the .223 came along.
.22magnum too
ammunition cost is similar unless handloading which is where the hornet has always shined altough with primer prices that is not such a huge difference per round anymore.
