I'm not being smart...... it's different than you think.
You need to see these loaded Swede rounds EVEN with 120s.

If possible I'll take and post a couple pix tomorrow.


I've been replacing boards on my 118 yr old barn >> built in 1900. I'm ONLY replacing the boards I have to and keeping the OLD wood on it.
HOT ! H O T !

First is a pic of 270 W (L) and 6.5 X 55 (R) ammo.

Next is M 70 FTWT 6.5 X 55 ammo IN magazine.


I took several pix at diff angles.... not easy to hold and take pic at the same time. Best I could do.

That is the SAME long action 70 for 270, 06, etc.

The mag follower is DIFFERENT for diff cartridges and may have a 'stop' per cartridge. There is NOT a lot of space behind the cartridges.
