Bolt Action Grendel

[AFRO408]

From what I understand, some countries or jurisdictions prohibit use of "military caliber" ammunition. For example, I understand that ordinary citizens in Australia were not allowed to own rifles chambered for the .303 British.

The question was prompted by the huge quantity of .223 ammunition and brass compared to the .222 Remington. Most folks would opt for the .223 if they are allowed to. Of course making .222 from .223 is a relatively straightforward operation, but...

That was the case, after WWII, but not now. Gunsmiths here, got around that, by setting the SMLE barrels back one turn of the thread and shortening the .303 case to suit.
I think .223 would be the most popular round here, closely followed by the .243 & .308.

I'll be opening up the bolt face, on a customers BSA SF2, to fit the Grendel case.

Cheers,
Tony
