The .308 Win. has been a favorite cartridge of mine since I started shooting Palma a couple of decades ago. While I still enjoy shooting Palma, I just don't find the time anymore. But... You also can't beat the .308 Win. for plain Jane hunting cartridge either. There are a dozens of bullets...

Sierra Bullets has an underground range extending to 300 yards. There was a testing facility in Texas which used 3 tunnels underground for load development and testing. There was a really nice in ground testing facility when Ransom Rest was originally built. It's now Ransom International.

The rifle illustrated is a Japanese Arisaka rifle, not a Mauser. The 6.5×50mmSR Arisaka (designated as the 6,5 × 51 R (Arisaka) by the C.I.P.[1]) is a semi-rimmed rifle cartridge with a 6.705 mm (.264 in) diameter bullet. It was the standard Japanese military cartridge from 1897 until the late...
