Midlander5.6x57RWS
Do any european commercial gunmakers still produce rifles in this calibre
I`ve seen it on double rifles but can`t remember seeing anything in bolt action
With balistics similar to the .243win I`m curious as to why we don`t hear more of this cal
Is there a major stumbling block associated with this round concerning accuracy or something
I`m curious to know
Thanks
Tim
I don't think anyone of the big European gunmakers is offering the 5.6x57 as a standard chamber! Perhaps Krico?

Heritage ArmsI have always wanted one too. I settled on a .243 for my Blaser with a X6 scope. We use it so much around here with all weights of bullets. I still like the round but I feel that a .243 is a better round from the standpoint of ammo avalibility.
