Isnt it the same?

[Wind Gypsy]

So metric is european and something like 308 is american which I think I understand that part

I'll Google search later about reloading and whatnot.

Sounds like the 7.65 has a better start at 100yards with +1.8 compared to the 7mm but sounds like the 7mm has a advantage at 300? But once all the math is done if the 7.65x53mm was loaded to it's full potential and everything is it more powerful then the 7mm-08? Or is it about the same that's kinda what I'm wondering on

The rest of the world has enough sense to use a base 10 system. 10 millimeters in a centimeter. 100 centimeters in a meter, 1000 meters in a kilometer, etc. We’re so damn smart we have 12 inches in a foot, 3 feet in a yard, and 5280 feet in a mile. Less than an inch? Of course, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16ths because that makes sense!

When would be a good time to discuss the .256 Newton?

Oh yeah let's talk about the 256 Newton isn't that a 123 grain bullet at a velocity of 3100fps or a 140 grain bullet at 3000fps and right now currently western cartridge company reloads a 129gr open point for it correct? (Granpa had a 256 Newton) then there's the 30 Newton not to familiar with it then there's the 35 Newton made in 1916 I believe and today it's being loaded with a 250 grain hollow point and it's pushing a velocity of 2670fps. I may not be totally smart on some calibers but I've been around a few oldies

sorry about it but I swore 7mm and 7.62 are the same I mean both are 7 but I think I understand it now

Just like 6mm, 6.5mm, 6.8mm are the same.

Yes, but per the discussion of this thread.

The .256 Newton. Not a .25 caliber anything, but a 6.5mm (.264).
There are some rounds that use the bore(lands) diameter instead of the more common grove
diameter of the barrel to name the cartridge as mentioned earlier.

Would be cool to own a Newton rifle in any of his cartridges. My favorite of Newton’s is the .250-3000.

250-3000 would be nice but ammo would be extinct to find

So guys question could that mauser be rebarreled? To some other caliber and if so what one and yet again that's just a question that ain't me saying I want to that's just a question

Lots of good gunsmiths can do many things - the limit is your wallet not imagination.

They still make small runs of factory ammo and new rifles for it, but reloading is the only way to really enjoy it.
