6 x 50 R Scheiring

The 6x50R Scheiring is a rimmed centerfire cartridge developed by Scheiring GmbH, an Austrian gunmaker. It was specifically designed for use in single-shot and double rifles, as well as combination guns, for hunting medium to large game in Europe.

The cartridge has a bullet diameter of .243 inches (6.17mm) and a case length of 50mm, and is based on the 9.3x74R case, which is shortened and necked down to accept a 6mm bullet.

The 6x50R Scheiring is known for its high accuracy, flat trajectory, and excellent terminal ballistics. It is typically loaded with medium to heavy bullets weighing between 80 and 105 grains, which are capable of delivering high levels of energy to the target.

The cartridge is commonly used for hunting deer, wild boar, and other medium to large game in Europe, where it has earned a reputation as a reliable and effective cartridge. It is also popular among hunters who prefer the classic style of single-shot and double rifles, which are often chambered for the 6x50R Scheiring.
