Hi,

I´ve been recommended this caliber for an old Martini action and am wodering if anyone has experience with it. Bullet weights etc.

Can you read Danish?

Or try www.norma.cc and hunting, assortment, 6x70R

Thanks for the tip boha! This is obviously underpowered for whitetail?

Legally underpowered for whitetail in Finland. You need a 100 grs bullet at about 2950 fps if you are to use a .243 cal rifle.
The requirements are a 6 grams (92,6 grs) bullet generating 2000J at 100m, or an 8 grams (123 grs) bullet generating 1700J at 100m.

Sure is a pretty cartridge!

My gunmaker here in denmark has a slick doublerifle in 6x70...absolutly pretty.

The 6x70R looks nice but since it´s underpowered for deer then I think I´ll be going with the 30-30. This is not in any sense a rook rifle cartridge but I´m trying to be a bit practical...

If we had more roebuck around here it would be a different story.
