At a glance it looks to be aforementioned 6.5X70R or 6.5X70R Nimrod. I have a surplus of boat-tail grackles and crows from this a.m., so Ford, do you want me drop the black-bird pie off at your house??? Wait till after the 1st & I can mix in some squirrel to make it more palatable.

With the 7.76mm measurement, I wonder how the tilde factors in to the proof equation?
