Carbines

[Patrick Chadwick]

The beginnings of a lovely collection, Patrick!

Of those four, I only have the one at the bottom. But looking at the Werder carbine, the barrel is sooo short that the length/caliber ratio is not a lot higher than the LP 08.
SP4 is far too slow for that length, and I believe I already suggested SP3 for the M71 carbine. Looking at the Werder carbine as if it were a pistol with a long shaft added, then I wonder if, in fact, you might get the best results by loading it as such, i.e. using SP2 with a much lighter bullet - something around 250-280 grains, certainly hardly more than 300. Let me know what you think of this suggestion.
