OK, I am new to these forums FYI 
I need a new boomstick and I cannot decide on anything to buy, but first before I start thinking more about that, I have some questions: #1 The remington R-15 says it shoots .223 DOES IT REALLY SHOOT .233 OR DOES IT SHOOT 5.56x45? #2 The bushmaster preditor, is this a relyable weapon? Is it accurate? how far is it's accuracy range? #3 (FYI, I am a big puss when it comes to recoil) how bad is the .308 recoil? compared to a mossin nagant, how much worse is it? |

My family owns a varminter (like a predator+) and its a sub moa gun which we are all very happy with, cycles reliably, and has a great trigger and action. |

Do not chamber 5.56 rounds in .223 only marked uppers. |

when you say 7.62x54.......... what does the 54 stand for? opposum Case length. 7.62x54R is the round that the Mosin chambers. This is a Russian round. The R stands for rimmed. It's a 7.62 caliber with a 54mm long case. 7.62x51mm is the round that the AR-10, M14, etc. Also known as .308. 7.62x39mm is another Russian round. AK-47, AKM, SKS chamber this round. |

so the .308 is less powerfull than the mosin nagant round? hah thats awesome, thanks for the help guys
ok next question, does anyone know about the remington R-25 model in .308? is it a reliable and accurate weapon? opposum No, just because it's shorter doesn't mean it's less powerful. There's a lot more than just length of the case that comes into play when determining how much power a round has. |
