About
What it is, and why it matters
The Schultz & Larsen M60 is a Danish bolt-action hunting rifle produced at the Otterup factory in the early 1960s. Succeeding the company's post-war M5x target-rifle series, it was offered as a sporting arm chambered in popular hunting cartridges including 6.5x55mm Swedish, .30-06 Springfield and 7.62x51mm NATO. Highly regarded among Scandinavian hunters for its accuracy and build quality, the M60 was the first of the M60/M65/M68 hunting-rifle generation and typically sold out shortly after each production run.
Schultz & Larsen's M60 opened the company's celebrated 1960s hunting-rifle era at Otterup; contemporaries recalled that the rifles were so sought-after by Scandinavian hunters that stock was often sold out immediately after production.
Detailed physical dimensions (weight, barrel length, overall length) are not published for the M60 and are recorded as null; velocity and energy figures follow the primary 6.5x55mm chambering. Part of the M60/M65/M68 hunting-rifle lineage that preceded the later M84 and M100.

Trajectory
What the round does downrange
Solved from the muzzle figures and the bullet. The dashed rule is the effective range on the record, and the crosses are the steps the solver returned.
No load solved for this record yetThe flight path is computed from a cartridge and a bullet. This record has no ammunition filed against its chambering, so there is nothing to solve.
