Name that plug.

Goes in my new race gun. The ballistics, on paper at least, are not going to make anyone get a stiffy. The word "pedestrian" might even come to mind when contemplating the performance you can squeeze from the case.

First to name it gets nothing but bragging rights. That said, the first to name it probably has one and is doing the same thing I'm doing with it. There are 2 trivia and 1 bonus question.



1. Name the chambering.
2. Name the bullet.

Extra Credit:
3. Name the powder used inside the case.

6.5 grendle 140gr smk ramshot tac
But it could be much smaller without anything to reference size

But it could be much smaller without anything to reference size

I know, Right?!!

OP you can at least put a penny or a known round next to it.

[spamsucker]

DSmeyer: Wrong, wrong and wrong but one hell of a good guess.

Jtroks: No. If I did that it would make it too easy.

It is a SMK bullet but not 140gn.
It is not 6.5mm.
It is not filled with Tac.

Come on guys. This is fun.

[0321jarhead]

22 Bench Rest Remington Bullet SMK .224 HPBT maybe 70 grain....Powder- Varget or maybe H335.

This is my first choice.

Bullet looks like a 30 caliber Sierra 168gr MatchKing. Brass looks like one of those goofy new next to useless rounds - 300 blackout maybe?

[maxx03]

223 WSSM. 69 Matchking.

[DSMeyer]

22 TCM 52gr smk

Going by the oversized wood grain and "race gun", I'm thinking its short n small

[Carcassonne]

6mm PPC
22 PPC (I doubt)
6mm AR

[Jon Road King]

Hornady 168gr BTSP 30 cal, stuffed into a necked down .308 case.... IMR 4227 maybe?

Not sure why in the world you would want to neuter a .308 though...

George?

Oh...I thought you said "Pug"

Nobody has gotten it so far. Jtroks and Carcassonne and DSMeyer have gotten very close. 0321jarhead was so close he was in range.

It's not a 22 or a 243 or a 264 or a 308. It's not a PPC but the obvious similarities between the PPC family and the family that this cartridge is in should have you going down the road right next to PPC avenue and coming up rapidly with the correct answer.

The cartridge is not new at all. It's nearly 40 years old. It was developed for a very specific gun and a very specific use case for that gun. The company primarily responsible for the bringing to the public of this chambering almost stupid'ed and neglected it right out of existence from the very beginning. Great performance for the purpose it was designed for maintained a small but loyal following and thankfully in the 90's the company responsible got their rectal-cranial inversion on the matter fixed.

Guess better!

Someone mentioned neutering a .308. That was a more insightful statement in the pursuit of the answer to this query than one might initially think.

EDIT: Oh, and the basement remark had me totally rolling. Good timing.
