Russian Berdan II range report

[larryhoosier]

I shot this target @ 100 yds. today with my 1884 Berdan II rifle.



10.75x58r Russian brass using 330gn paper patched bullet, 20gn IMR SR 4759 (Pufflon filler), CCI #250 primer, and COL of 2.900". I used my new MagnetoSpeed bayonet mount chronograph and got 10 shots ave. around 1375 fps. COW book says ML (BP) is 1410 fps. Below is the rifle in question.



I wasn't certain where to put this post, I knew that the BP forum folks would banish me because I use smokeless!
