  7 mm-08 Remington at AllExperts
The 7 mm-08 Remington is a direct copy of a wildcat cartridge developed around 1958 known as the 7mm/308.
As these names would suggest, it is simply the.308 Winchester case necked down to accept 7 mm (.284) bullets.
It has a flatter trajectory than the.308 Winchester and.30-06 Springfield at similar bullet weights as the slightly smaller diameter 7mm bullet will generally have a better ballistic coefficient, meaning that it is less effected by drag and crosswind while in flight.

 Assault rifle Summary
Conversely, full-sized military rifle calibers were uncomfortable to fire repeatedly and difficult to control during fully-automatic or rapid fire because of significant recoil; cost of design and manufacture was also higher.
Other individuals have suggested an increase in caliber, to the 6–7 mm range, with rifle round velocities and lower mass bullets: a kind of intermediate philosophy between the smaller caliber–faster modern rounds and the standard caliber–slower rounds of the previous generation.
In the United States, Remington has developed the 6.8 mm Remington SPC cartridge, which is the same overall length at the 5.56 x 45 mm NATO round but fires a bullet the same caliber as the.270 Winchester hunting cartridge.

 Dodge Caliber: little SUVs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Size-wise, the Caliber is similar to the Matrix, though it seems a bit wider and lower — like the Commander, it looks taller than it is; it isn’t all that high but seems to have nice interior space.
While the Caliber is neither as slippery as the first-generation Neon nor as light, both of which make its performance nowhere near as good as a stick-shift Neon, it has more cargo space, more passenger room, and higher safety and emissions standards...not to mention a high performance diesel option for Europeans.
The Caliber SRT-4 blasts the XRS out of the water, but is rated at the same acceleration as the Neon SRT-4; it is probably safer and easier to drive, though.

The small caliber, long barrel, and medium muzzle velocity of this piece results in relatively no recoil and comparatively little muzzle flash.
Modifications, other than the larger caliber which also help to identify this piece, are as follows: Monopod under fore end; anti-aircraft sight arms attached to rear sight leaf; magazine floor plate hinged to forward part of trigger guard; sling swivels attached to side instead of under part of rifle.
(7) Japanese infantry must be considered well supplied with heavy weapons; the Army is primarily an infantry army, and the weapons of the infantry have always been the first consideration of the military.

 M1911 FACTS AND INFORMATION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The Ordnance Board, headed by John T. Thompson, concluded that a.45 caliber (11.4 mm) semi-automatic weapon would be most appropriate, and took bids from six firearms manufacturing companies in 1906.
It was officially replaced, largely due to considerations of NATO commitments, with a 9 mm sidearm, the Beretta 92F/FS, on January 14, 1985.
Capacity: 7+1 rounds (7 in standard-capacity magazine + 1 in firing chamber); 8+1 in aftermarket standard-size magazine; 9+ in extended and hi-cap magazines/frames Guns chambered in.38 Super and 9 mm have a 9+1 capacity.

 7.62 mm Versus 5.56 mm - Does NATO Really Need Two Standard
This cartridge propelled a small 125 grain bullet at a relatively moderate muzzle velocity of 2,100 fps (636 mps), Paralleling the evolution of the 7.9 mm Kurz was the development of a new, compact, select-fire rifle chambered for the new ammu- nition.
This interest in a new cartridge was influenced by the battlefield success of the German 7.9mm Kurz, and Soviet adop- tion of their Kalashnikov light assault rifles using the new 7.62 x 39mm Model 43 intermediate power ammunition.
The other members of NATO adopted either the German G3 or the Belgian FN FAL as their standard 7.62mm NATO caliber service rifles.8 The 5.56 x 45mm cartridge and the M16 rifle was originally developed and unilaterally adopted by the United States in 1963 for initial employment in Southeast Asia.

 7,92 x 57 mm Information
Now known in Europe and in the USA as the 7,92 x 57 mm JS, the 8 mm Mauser or 8 x 57 mm JS, it was adopted by Germany in 1905 as the 7,92 x 57 IS.
The IS cartridge was a further development of the 1888 cartridge, the 7,92 x 57 mm I, which had a round-nosed bullet and was developed to be top-loaded via disposable clip in the Gewehr 88 (or Commission 88) rifle.
The 7,92 x 57 IS bullet was lighter, pointed, and 8.2 mm (.323 in) in diameter instead of 8.08 mm (.318 in) with improved ballistics.

 Pacific Storm   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The design group, headed by Hall (the leading engineer assistant) and Koh, adopted a whole range of their trademark daring design decisions, sacrificing engineering aesthetics to to manufacturing adaptability, durability, and a large “belly” required by the NAVAER specifications.
The outcome was a thick and rather bulky cantilever middleplane, capable of holding up to four 227-kg bombs, two 453-kg armor-piercing bombs, one 907-kg bomb, one ton torpedo or an extra protected 802-liter fuel tank in the bomb compartment.
Another advanced invention for the one-impellent aircraft of the time was the installment of the electrical drive upper turret (type Grumman 150SE) with the 12,7 mm caliber machine gun Colt-Browning M2.

 Comblain Varieties
In page 53v it says: "Comblain system rifle, 11 mm caliber, type number 5, model 1889 (...) with the same chamber of the Nordenfelt machine gun (...) In this type the barrel lenght was ordered to be increased in order to use the Belgian sights model of 1880, of the Belgian General Halkin's invention".
I measured some of these weapons and the actual caliber is 7,5 mm, so I do not know the reason of the document saying that the caliber is 7,7 mm.
These included a musket for the heavy infantry, a short musket (carabina) for the light infantry, a carbine with bayonet (mosquetão) for the artillery and a carbine without bayonet (clavina) for the cavalry (this last weapon began to be replaced by the Spencer during the Paraguayan War).

 AR-15, M16, M4, M4A1, M4
The M16 is a lightweight, 5.56 mm caliber, air-cooled, gas-operated, magazine-fed rifle, with a rotating bolt, actuated by direct impingement gas operation.
The bullet had to penetrate a standard U.S. steel helmet, body armor, or a 0.135 inch (3.4 mm) steel plate and retain a velocity in excess of the speed of sound at 500 yards (460 m), while equaling or exceeding the "wounding" ability of the.30 Carbine.
Their SS109 round was based on the U.S. cartridge but included a new bullet design with the same 5.56 mm caliber with a small steel tip to improve penetration.

This decision was made in light of the fact that there was active developments in other countries of semi-automatic rifles in the caliber which was used in their currently issued manually operated bolt or straight-pull rifles, which are really one and the same.
The forerunner of the 7.5 mm semi-automatic rifle was the MAS 44.
If you have 7.5 x 54 mm dies all you have to do is run the 6.5 mm case into the full length sizing die and that will expand the neck to 7.5 (.30) If you wish you can trim a millimeter off it, but I did not have to.

 MILITARY AMMO -- 7.62 MM NATO
The first standard NATO cartridge, the 7.62 x 51mm NATO, was developed by the United States as a successor to the.30 Caliber M2 round (30-06), which had served as the standard U. rifle cartridge since 1906.
The.30 Caliber M2 cartridge propelled a 150 grain projectile at a muzzle velocity of 2,800 fps (848 mps) and served the U. very effectively in the 1903 Springfield and M1 Garand service rifles, the Browning automatic rifle, and the heavy and light models of the Browning machine guns.
As the development of the new U. service rifle cartidge progressed, however, traditionalism took hold as U. Army participants began to feel that the intermediate power ammuniton, used by the Soviets and the Germans, were too limited in their effective combat ranges and power to satisfy U. infantry requirements.

 24hourcampfire: 7 mm 08 -270 win
All the 270's I've had over the years, and especially the ones I've kept have been very accurate and not very finicky as to what they were fed.....other people have not been so lucky, but sometimes you make your own luck.
If we compare the 7-08 with 145 grain(sd.257) and the 270 with 130 grain(sd.242), slight nod to the 7-08, we see that 2933 fps can be reached with 51.0C of RL 19 in the 7-08.
My point on horsepower stands.......in cartridges of same caliber (and the.007" difference between 7-08 & 270 is NO difference), the one with the most capacity yields higher ballistic performance; efficiency can't make up the difference in cubic inches.

At the start of the war most aircraft mounted guns were rapid firing machine guns of 30 caliber (7.62-mm) or so.
During the Battle of Britain it became clear that this was insufficient and heavier armament was progressively introduced.
The United States relied heavily on the Browning 50 caliber (12.7-mm) machine gun, both for offensive and defensive gun installations while the British utilized 20-mm cannon on most fighters and fighter-bombers, fitting their bombers with.303 caliber (7.7-mm) machine guns.

When caliber 5.45 x 39 mm weapons were introduced into mass production to replace the rifles in 7.62 x 39 mm, it was discovered that most of the Russian traditional foreign customers would think twice before placing firm purchase orders.
In addition 5.45 x 39 mm ammunition was harder to get, while 7.62 x 39 mm was easy to come by.
Now having the Kalashnikovs in 5.56 x 45 mm IZHMASH seems to be ready to deal with those clients who were traditionally controlled by Western arms suppliers.

The original purpose of development was to create one man-operated rifles with high caliber, high muzzle velocity and high accuracy, for special tasks.Development continues with producing more and more versions.
I must to mention here, that the Russian 12.7mm hit through this armor with 15-20% higher rate than the same caliber NATO.Besides, their task is destroying unarmored HQs, radio/radar stations,vehicles,helicopters, rocket-ranges,and parking aircrafts from the distance of 1500-2000 m.
Development was based on the high powered.50 BMG and 12,7mm Soviet/Russian cartridge.Their performance is fivefold,compared to a simple 7.62 cartridge.So, the goal was a very accurate,high muzzle velocity rifle for special ops.During the planning and using,most of the problems were occured exactly because of high performance.
