Musgrave 6mm (en Parker Hale .308)

[JAPES]

More manne

Ek voel soos 'n kind voor kersfees.

My skoonpa het my sopas ingelig dat ek sy Musgrave 6mm en Parker Hale .308 kan oorneem, pasella!
Ek het nog nie verdere inlig oor die gewere nie, soos watter aksie dit het of serial nommers nie, maar sal dit opsit sodra ek meer weet.

Ek is nie bekend met 'n 6mm nie en wil weet waar in die kaliber range pas hierdie kaliber in en enige ander informasie?

Ek weet dis net vir Musgrave vrae bedoel, maar van Parker Hale weet ek niks en sal enige informasie waardeer. PM my asb maar.

Derdens, gegewe dat ek reeds 'n Musgrave .270 en 30-06 besit, watter kaliber, 308 of 6mm, sal my versameling beter aanvul?

243 = 6mm
270 (277) = 7mm
30-06 en 308 = 7,62mm

Vir pasella gaan ek nie kieskeurig wees nie. Vat albei al beteken dit jy moet toegewyde status verkry.

The 6mm Musgrave was the brain child of Ben Musgrave and introduced by Musgrave Rifles in 1955 and can be described as a classic Africa cartridge. It is based on necking down the .303 British with the original intent of it being a Springbok calibre for hunting on open plains in South Africa's Karoo, Kalahari and Namakwaland. It is also well suited for other smaller antelope where longer shots have to be taken. Although not designed for bushveld conditions, the calibre can be downloaded to drive 100 grainers at 2500 feet per second and makes a very good cartridge for Impala and Reedbuck.

Like the .243 Winchester it has a fast rifle twist of 1-10 inches, however if 105 grain bullets are used it is recommended that a 1-9 or even faster twist is used to stabilise the bullets.

PMP (Pretoria Metal Pressings) is one of the very few ammunition manufacturers of 6mm Musgrave ammunition, but a lot of South African distributors have the ammunition in stock. A lot of international manufacturers (like Hornady, Nosler, Barnes, etc.) manufacture 6mm bullets for handloading.

As ek tussen die 2 moes kies sou ek die 6mm vat pleks van die 308 maar as jy al 2 kan hou nog beter.
