| Or buy the 5.6x50 mm Rimmed barrel, a even better choice. |

| The 5.6X50R in a K95 would be extremely cool! |

| As the proud owner of a 5.6x50R K95 I can tell you it is a match made in heaven. The rimmed cartridge handle really well and the performance is about half way between a 223 and a 22-250.
50gr at 3,500fps, 55gr at 3,400fps, 60gr at 3,300fps. These loads are at the rimless pressure levels courtesy of the K95s tilting block and RWS brass. It is also possible to run it at 22hornet levels if you so wish.
Really good cartridge. |

| They have been listed on Gunbroker for sale with .223 barrels by Maddog guns, that and the twist chart is what I went by. All I know for 100% is that if I live long enough I will own a K 95! |

| It could have been an editing error by Mad Dog as he advertises lots of Blasers. I've had a .223 barrel for the R93 but according to Blaser USA, it's not offered. Here's the link. Blaser K95 caliber chart |
