SEE YOUR DEALER OR SEND FOR A FREE CATALOG - Various bullets from about 70 grains weight o 110 grains are available in this caliber, but a my barrel-a heavy Buhmiller with 12" wist-best results have been with the 85 [rain Sierra spitzer bullet. Forty-two to 43 [rains of 4895, 4064, or 3031 will consistsntly group in less than one minute-of-angle, vith the velocity running about 3400 feet- ~er-second. A case full of 4350 (about % trains) will give this bullet about 3600 f.s. put is not quite as accurate in this rifle. Since I got this Cobra working a few years back, the commercial arms companies have ntroduced other versions of 6 mm loads. lemington has the 244 Remington, based on heir 257 case, and Winchester has the 243 Winchester, based on the .308 case. These hree cases give almost identical ballistics, ~ut either of the commercial loads should be ihosen in preference to the wildcat Cobra 'or the simple reason of availability of cases uith no need of forming or annealing. Wild- :ats are fun for the serious experimenter, ind they have a definite place in the scheme )f things. But there is no reason to choose in off-breed cartridge when identical results ;an be obtained with a standard factory load. The three 6 mm loads mentioned have ibout the same trajectory over 300 yards as he 22-250 class of cartridges, but they are ess affected by wind than the 22's and ieem to shoot flatter beyond this distance. I lave killed chucks at better than 400 yards, (when zeroed at 200,) by holding just above heir heads when they were standing erect. Even at this distance the chucks were badly imashed. This is due to the high remaining velocity typical of this class of cartridges and loads. This velocity at long range is in turn iependent upon the superior sectional density if the 6 mm's as compared to the 22 center- 6res of 45 grain to 55 grain bullet weight. There is one serious disadvantage to the 5 mm class of rifles. This is the loud, sharp report, which makes many fanners object to its use, especially near cattle or buildings. For this reason such a rifle becomes a very specialized - outfit in any areas of normal population-fine to have for the occasional shot beyond 250 yards provided there are no buildings or people near, but not suitable for taking shots as they come. If it is possible to own two rifles for crows, say an accurate 222 for average shots and a 6 mm for the long ones, then a shooter is all set, but for average conditions the 6 mm is not likely to be first choice for a crow rifle. But regardless of your choice of rifles or load, whether you use a modest .22 rim. fire plinker or a custom-tailored wildcat, crow shooting is a world of fun. Give them a taste of it and the whole family will be addicts. So will your friends. Even the crows seem to enjoy it. You should hear their raucous laughter when you miss! 1 THE ORIGINAL PLASTIC STOCK IN LAYS are my business and I make &%?'dss?~\?~d?'~n% by for precision latest lit. machinery. Send C. D.
