Thread: Calibre Choice in the 1970's

First rifle I brought was a no 4 mk1* got it from sportsways in downtown auckland along with a cylinder of cac 303mk7 (150 rnds) for $20 they had them stacked in bins that was about 75. Saw my first 6,5x55 then as well a jungmans mag 42 b well out of my price range but they were evidently the tool of choice for the helicopter deer cullers.

I had one of those AG42B LJUNGMANs, they were a reloaders nightmare, they flung the brass a long ways and really dented the spent cases, got rid of that in a hurry. Stuck with M-94s and M-96s and later M-38s, love that calibre.
