Showing off my berthier

[Eaglelord17]

PPU is safe for any Berthiers or Lebels provided they are in good working order. It is set up to duplicate the Balle 'D' ammo, which was a 198grn .323dia bullet at 2400ft/sec.

The only time you might have a issue is if you have a non 'N' marked rifle and are trying to shoot surplus ammo through it. The 'N' marking allowed the rifles to use Balle 'N' which was a larger diameter bullet and a slightly longer case neck. The update basically just reamed the neck of the chamber slightly larger so it could chamber the round without overpressure issues. It isn't so much of a issue today as now most of the Balle 'N' surplus has been shot off.

If the bore is good you can expect some pretty good results. The best I have done was about a inch and a quarter at 100m, however the bore on my rifle is just about new.
