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

Greetings Micky Duck and All,
Warren Page designed 6mm wildcats that he tried to interest both Remington and Winchester in introducing. He succeeded rather too well. Winchester had in mind a hunting...
Greetings SF90,
The 7x57 is not obsolete. I listed as obsolescent as it is seldom chambered, even in Europe. They now seem to favour the 7x64. Components and ammo should be available for a very long...
Greetings All,
I was sitting in our living room this morning, between outside jobs, thinking about what I may put in this post and the unmistakable first few bars of Black Magic Woman came through...
Greetings @ Tahr,
In the very early 1990's a friend and I were chronographing some 6.5x55 loads on my new 35P. One load was the Norma 140 grain load. This chronographed 2,750 fps. a little faster...
Greetings All,
Nah, all overweight .30-06s. 350 Rem Mag has more eye appeal as an "A what?" rifle but is a little cramped in a short mag though.

PS. There is also a 9.3 BS, 350 necked up.
Greetings Jhon,
I was using the same load as I use with these projectiles in my .308, 32 grains of AR2206H. In the .308 these chronograph 1,910 fps and shoot really well. I think that it was the...
None whatsoever. My son had a 358 Win for a while. A very flexible cartridge, much like the .308. You will enjoy it.

Greetings Micky Duck and All,
Some .22 calibre projectiles had soft enough jackets that they blew up in mid air if driven too fast. With a fast twist this would happen at a lower velocity. Hornady...
Cowardice,
Years ago it was thought that too fast a twist made projectiles shoot funny due to "being spun of their feet". Later it was found to be largely a myth. Second rate projectiles perhaps but...
It should shoot well. I shoot 55 grain projectiles in my 8 twist .223 and they shoot well.

The reason that the Creedmoor ( named for a rifle range on a moor owned by a Mr Creed in what is now New York. Well done to T.FOYE for correct spelling) produces similar pressure with...
Short answer. No. And some of them are obsolete already. No ammo is currently available for some and may not be again. Some like the 7mm SAUM have gained a foothold in comps like F Class and cases...
Greetings muzza,
The .218 Bee and .219 Donaldson Wasp are likely better now due to the availability of better projectiles and powders. The Wasp was a bench rest champion prior to 1950.

Greetings all,
Redundant is a funny word. Its meaning has come to mean something that is no longer required as in a person being made redundant. Generally the word means something that is excess of...
