20Tac Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 .30x47 rifle review in this weeks' Shooting Times. Interesting choice of calibre - I don't quite get why he went for a 1-10 twist when he was only using 110-150gr bullets. Surely a 1-12 or even a 1-14 would have been better suited for this range of bullet weights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alycidon Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Interesting artical, thanks for sharing. Seems a bit odd using N130 under a 30 cal bullet but the barrel is very short. With mods now the norm shorter barrels and faster powder may be a road to look at. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Very interesting article. I like bruce Pott,s article,s...he,s usually up to something interesting. I cant help but wonder though, how that round is different to the 7.62x39 russian ...the AK47 cartridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Ballistically, I would guess that the Russian and 47 are very similar. The 30x47 is actually the parent case for the 6.5x47 (if you do a bit of research on the internet) which I found surprising as I had never heard of it before. There is probably nothing "new" that hasn't been done before by someone somewhere..... However, it looks like a useful "close quarter" woodland cartridge. Maybe next seasons "must have" darling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20Tac Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Interesting project - though can't see much advantage over the 6.5x47. I thought the 6.5 'Rapier' was supposed to be his ideal all round deer/fox round? Bruce Potts seems to be keen on having a custom rifle built, or a new switch barrel for his RPA, in every possible calibre! 338BR, 6PPC, .17rem, .20satan, .22satan, .308, .223, 6.5rapier, .30x47, the list goes on...
