nearly there Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Hi guys more than likely a dumb question but i thought i would ask.on my fac it states i can own a 308/7.62.does this mean i could get a rifle in 300 win mag or do i need to state 300 win mag on the fac.i ask as i see that the 300 win mag is 7.62x67..thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandy Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 I suspect that the designation refers to a .308 win cartridge and think you would be lucky to find an RFD who would put a .300 win mag on your certificate with that designation. Why not just ask you FEO for a win mag and do a 1 for 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jagged 77 Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 If your cert stated .30 cal you could have a .300 WM, (or any other .30 cal cartridge such .30-06 etc.). With your cert stating .308/7.62 they are referring to the chambering and that's what you will be limited to I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbal Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Hi-its not a dumb question,and has often needed clarification in the past-where certificates used 'calibre' (eg .30) but others,inc FLOs actually put 'chambers' (eg .308 or 308w-same thing),because that's what the applicant asked for just as Jagged says.RFDs should be well aware,but onus is on FAC holder. .30-06 is ok if FAC says .30,but 30-06 is not if FAC says .308 or 308w or 7.62. Easily FLO varied,though. As ever,a phone call to your FLO will clarify-some are very straightforward one for ones (when cartridge is in the same general class,eg 222 to 223) and some are not (where there is an serious 'upgrade' in performance,and issues of 'good reason' might come in). Generally these days,FLOs are aware of these technical nuances,and will -given good reason etc-grant what the applicant asks for-and grant a variation when the applicant requests it. Similarly,with moderators,even more so since they are not all calibre specific,though some are so marked...just pays to clarify eg ...'up to 6mm'- or even 6mm/243.Best to have all the numbers match! gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
