That is handy indeed.

Thank you 25Pdr for posting that :)

Just realised that my new calibre 6.5x284 is not on there, at least not that I can see. Ok, to be honest I can't actually read the bottom row, not even with my reading glasses.

....hmm....

Yes that's handy. Glad it's not only me that can't read the bottom row though Christel! Is there a bigger copy of it out there anywhere?

Doesn't seem to be there.....What about this chart?

From left to right: .300 Whisper, .223 Rem, .458 SOCOM, .243 Win, .308 Win, 6.5x284 Norma, 7 Rem Mag, and .50 BMG.



Why the 6.5x284 for Long Range Shooting...Clicky

Good Read

I have always wanted to put something like this together with inert ammunition, one sample of every cartridge (Or the ones I can find) displayed in a spiral on a nice dish of polished oak. Lovely....

Best I can do for a post. If you save it to disk you can enlarge it.

Mates got one like that, it's all the cartidges that are available for the Thompson Contender.

He specialised in the Handguns but lost them in the hand-in.He then re applied for the Rifle version which is just the same action but with a rifle stock screwed on in place of the pistol stock, the Barrels are all interchangeable like a shotgun. Strathclyde said "No way", but he fought them and won. He now has a legal Thompson Contender with various barrels.

It's OK, I moved my head closer to the screen... :lol:

The author of the 6.5x284 article certainly seems to like it, I am still to shoot the rifle to know. I will return with an update when that has happened.

Thank you for posting the link 25Pdr!
