    Tobes, the generic calibre size usually refers to the BORE size, not the diameter of the grooves. 7mm cal is 7mm because the bore size (measured with a bore pilot bushing) is usually 0.275" to 0.277" (7mm) whereas the groove diameter is nominally 0.284". The bullets are usually sized to match this larger diameter.

    Same thing with 6.5cal. The bore size is 0.255" to 0.256" (6.5mm) and the groove diameter is 0.264" .

    Does that explain it ok?

    Everyone has the right to their own opinion, but that doesn't mean that every opinion is right.

    On the way home from picking up a sick daughter from school I suggested we stop at the range to see how my Tikka was shooting. So set up a target at 100mtrs and fired 2 shots, I had only had brought 3 bullets with me as I had intended to have a quick looksee for a pig that has been hanging around the lambing paddocks. I suggested to the Daughter (16yrs) to have a shot with the last bullet. I'm happy with that result, we only had a pac for a rest. Pity I hadn't taken a couple of more bullets and tweeked it to the right 6clicks.

    Nah - just rotate your target 90deg to your right.
    Now you're shooting 2in high - which isn't a bad thing.

    You're welcome

    It appears to be zeroed two inches to the left of centre.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Rushy, that is "built in lead" for those "right to left running shots"
