    versifier and others...
    I just posted an Article from the 1930 February issue of American Rifleman magazine, that talks about the 6.5x54mm Mannlicher-Schoenauer cartridge and carbine. The same pretty much applies to the olther, older, 6.5mm cartridges out there still being used.
    Before forgetting, I posted the article in the General Forum, under General Hunting Chatter.....as thought it would be ok to post it in that section? Hope so. Moderators, if I posted it in the wrong section, my apologies.
    I have enjoyed/liked that article so much, that I have a copy of it framed on the wall!

    Excellent article, thanks for posting it. The rotary mag is an amazing piece of engineering. Unfortunately, time and the elements have taken their toll on mine and it will only hold two rounds and still feed reliably. The old girl still shoots MOA with 140gr Sierra GK's, so I wouldn't need a second shot. Maybe I'll hunt with it one of these years just for the hell of it.

    Just bought one of those 7.62 Nag ant pistols.
    With 5.8gn of SR 4756 and brass made from star-line 32/20s, at 20 yards I can keep all of them within 3''!
    But I have one problem.
    I need .317'' dia bullets/boolits But Dad doesnt have the die..... So for now I am shooting .314'', and there shooting perty good! Now all i need is ...
    32/20 brass
    Primers
    powder
    .317'' dia boolits!

    Thumbs up 7.62 pistol

    Hey love the name. I used to call all those things Moosey Nugent now I'll have to change.... Moosey Nag Ant!

    BTY. that thing shoots really well... 3" at 20yds with .003" undersized no less! She oughta shoot even better with the better fit.

    Oh... favorite rifle? Tough question. Let's see......Reliable, smooth action, lever repeater, nothing fancy, excellent fit to shoulder, enough power, fairly short range (non-scoped), serious hunting.... original Win 71 in 348.
