    Basically no, as .308/7.62mm and 6.5mm are different calibres/calibre group.

    If you want, and can justify of course, a 6.5mm you will need to request that, whereas if you want a .308 you will need to request that.

    Alternatively you could request both.

    If you can actually get to communicate with someone at your licensing run it past them, probably save you hassle later when they apply their own criteria.

    Okay thanks, my FEO is really easy to get hold of on the phone, so I’ll ask him.

    You should only have to specify the calibre not the chambering and then only in metric or imperial. Having said this, as we all well know, each licensing authority makes up its own rules.

    I currently have a space on my ticket for a 6.5 mm.

    Thanks for the info. Apologies for being not so knowledgeable, but if I fancied 6.5mm for example, would I apply for a .308/7.62?

    Depending on what my licensing dept says of course (met).

    Thanks,

  3. Hi all,

     I’m thinking about getting into long range shooting and wanted to ask what your thoughts are on the best calibre for this. 
     

    I know it might be a question with lots of different answers, so to narrow it down some, I’ll probably be shooting at 400 and 600 and 1,000 metres. I can reload my own ammunition. 
     

    I spoke to some experienced members of my club and they recommended .308, they are quite old school , and while that’s not a bad thing, I wanted to ask on here for other options. 
     

    I did mention the 6.5 mm calibre and the response was that this is more of a trend/fashion thing, not exactly sure about this. 
     

    Im asking as I’ll need to put in for a variation on my FAC. 

    Thanks all.
