30-06 22” barrel

[track]

Track is about to chime in with a 27'' ##### stretcher 3000

FYI, here is a custom rifle I had built in 2002, a 257 Weatherby with a 28" barrel. Velocties of 3,707 fps with a 100 grain bullet..........shot just as flat as southern Alberta and Saskatchewan combined. I only killed two bucks with it, then went-on to other rifles, 27" barrels. wink wink

I call it "Mystery Powder". I shoot it in 308 Zombie Gun with FMJs.

Start low and work up is the 1st and 2nd rule of handloading.

22" vs 24" ...... I'd go 23" on a custom bbl cuz I can't make up my mind.

If one wants a short barreled 30-06 buy a 308WIN.

This is Canada. We screwed that up too.

I wish we'd have gone all metric and be better off for it 45yrs later esp now that our trade with the US is less.

Barrel length - do you measure from closed bolt face to muzzle, or front of receiver to muzzle?

I believe you measure from the face of a closed bolt to the end of the muzzle. Most easily done with a cleaning rod and some masking tape and a yardstick.

Hmm Maybee but EXAMPLES - .243 is 6.17 mm / .257 is 6.53 mm / .264 is 6.71 mm .284 is 7.21 mm would be SH*T show

Why would we rename cartridges?

And since when is our trade with the US less and what does that have to do with it?

Well, judgin by the projected midterm results, trade wars with the US may not be a long term thing anyway lol

Definitely seeing more European brands on the shelf, ammo wise. Solignac, few others. Local store told me the amount they have to buy to get Norma etc is pretty high though.

Was thinking if things went on the way they were, Howa and Eastern Europe/Turkey would be big winners eventually.

Our local gun store( the only one in the Yukon) I know the big boss and he told me that his store is too small to be able to bring stuff directly from Europe. It’s too bad cause I would buy euro stuff since I don’t really gives a cats ass about the USA stuff…

That IS too bad man. Sorry to hear it. Sounds like pretty much the same story here.

Even the budget stuff like PPU, S&B etc is good.
