The American .280 Remington cartridge is probably the closest ballistic twin of the 7x64mm. When compared to the 7x64mm the .280 Remington has a slightly lower maximum allowed chamber pressure and as an American 7 mm cartridge has a slightly smaller bore. European 7 mm cartridges all have 7.24 mm (0.285 in) grooves Ø diameter. American 7 mm cartridges have 7.21 mm (0.284 in) grooves Ø.

Re: Highland deer stalking gun
That doesn't solve the other length based issue - a 140 grn bullet seated to proper depth is too long to fit in a standard short action magazine. A Wyatts box can fix it, but now you have to machine the receiver and floorplate.blackeagle603 wrote:Custom barreled .260 with appropriate twist. Voila! Problem solved.

The roe are small but we are culling red deer which are much larger. We just pop the occasional Roe.

So, would a 25-06 solve those problems?

You know, this thread has gotten me looking (again) at the Ruger Scout rifle. I've liked the Scout concept ever since Jeff Cooper (PBUH) proposed it.
Since I don't hunt (yet), I've no USE for a scout rifle, but drooooool.

With wanting? Not a thing. With acquiring? The need to justify the expense, both to myself and Mrs D. I'm perpetually cheap when it comes to me.randy wrote:Which has exactly what to do with wanting/acquiring one?MarkD wrote: I've no USE for a scout rifle

And how do the Roe compare to regular deer when talking about meat/flavor/taste ('cause we KNOW they won't compare to volume of meat)??CombatController wrote:The roe are small but we are culling red deer which are much larger. We just pop the occasional Roe.
