Re: contemporary swedish hunting rifle
So what calibre to use on small game? If I understood you correctly 0.300 / 7.62 mm would already be for wolves and such?
Please assume that the only "weapon" I ever used was an air rifle, and try to explain from there. You may also assume that I'm neither stupid, nor technicaly inept ... just have no experience at all with real weapons. ;) Thanks for your help guys, its very welcome. :D

Re: contemporary swedish hunting rifle
For small game you want something in the .22 to .25 range - roughly 5mm to 6mm. I'd refer you to specific weapons in 4th edition, but I'm still 3rd...

Re: contemporary swedish hunting rifle
No insult taken Nightwatch. While I certainly do know that you can't use 5 mm ammunition in a 6 mm weapon (or vice versa), I know several people that would try to do so. ;)
Tak sa mycket Hans ;)

Re: contemporary swedish hunting rifle
So given a Remington Modell 700, 5,56x45mm, how would the stats change from the 7.62 version? High Tech only gives stats for caliber 7mm plus.

Mostly a rifle barrel is a rifle barrel, etc. The 5.56mm would not benefit greatly from the extra inches of the barrel of a typical Model 700. The round is optimized for shorter barrels. Probably below the Gurps level of resolution anyway.

Re: contemporary swedish hunting rifle
It's secret so far. It may be published someday in a gunhead pdf.
Kromm appears to believe that the formulas in 3e scared off too many people and 4e has many fewer such things. Makes more room for calculations involving Afflictions and Power Modifiers.
