    Default Hello

    Y'all mind if I hang out here ? I'm really tired of the other miata sites . They sound like a bunch of old ladies trying to figure out which lace to put on their collar . Hope to learn more here.......

    Thanks for the kind words (I think) . Necked down ? I've only had this rifle a short time , still learning it . It was a gift btw . The 06 is still my favorite . Rest easy , there is no one on this planet that can make me angry . I just got tired of reading about the same problems , "Mods" and the non-mechanics going off at the mouth about this that or the other . Ken o , gulf coast group ? More info please ? The closest autocross I have found is three hours away . Later yall

    6.5 mm = .264 inches
    284 Norma has a bullet diameter of .284
    Therefore the 6.5 284 Norma is necked down from .284 to .264 for some unfathomable reason having to do with the fact that no one is ever happy with what they've got. So you could say it's one of the human nature calibers. It has hundreds of colleagues.
