It even say they are compatible

yes, 6.5CM, then 6.5PRC, now this!!!..seriously, just 'how' desperate are the ammo and rifle manufacturers to make sales!!!

in all honesty, no one has designed a good hunting rifle for several decades, so if they focused on THAT, maybe they wouldn't have to worry about the ballistics side of things...as let's be honest, for hunting, it's more about shot placement and small differences in calibre or chambering makes absolutely ZERO differences to shooting and killing average sized game.

Yes but the shooting public would be called gullible if the powers that be hadn’t removed the word from the dictionary.

Apologies for not o following protocol, but just wanted to query that this wasn’t an April fool?

 

[Bavarianbrit]

Will that not be a patent infingement to Winchester?
So I could bring out a .2222222222 wotcha that fits perfectly into the .222 rem chamber.
Aghh, I fell for it.

I've scrapped my .308 and surrendered all the ammunition so I can order one of these. Sounds amazing.

 

[labrador77]

The thing is that there is a 7.6 creedmoor, it's called the 30 TC

That's correct. Ammunition is still listed by Hornady, but it was a commercial flop. Not surprising in that it can't do anything that 308 Win can't do. (It was developed for Thompson-Center for use in its 3-lug bolt-action rifle the T-C Icon which looked a lot of very nice sporting rifle for the US$ price and got good reviews in the US magazines, but the Icon has been out of production for some years now. Hornady loaded the 30 T-C with its 'light magnum' technology, or whatever the company calls its enhanced performance ammo nowadays and the 150gn PSP load had the same claimed ballistics as a standard 30-06 150gn factory load. The marketing pitch was 30-06 performance in a short-action package, but it seems the punters weren't impressed.)

Consider yourself lucky...I was going to post something about the new extra short carbine with a lightweight paper barrel...I think it was a 30 cal Woodbine?
