To Patrick Chadwick, ammo test for the 96/11

**gunner** · 07-16-2009 02:44 PM

Hi Patrick,

was yesterday at the shooting range and tested ammo fro my M1917 and the 96/11. I found a good one as you see in the 1st. pic. The shot a little higher was a CBS and the 2nd a little left and in the tiny hole are3 rounds of this load. Distance 100m. the load datas are on the 2nd pic. BTW this ammo goes a little to the right but with a " Feinvisier" no problem.

Regards

Gunner

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

That looks very, very good. Amazing, in fact.
I shall really have to try that load myself (oh dear! I had said I didn't want to load another caliber - but that was yesterday)

Hi Patrick,
A comrade tested the load in his ZF K31 icon

and he got a 5-shot group with 22mm at 100m. I think it will work in more rifles. BTW do you have the new Visier
August8/2009 ? Interresting stuff about Swedish icon

Mausers and Krag icon

rifles incl. load datas.

Regards

n'Tag Gunner,
bearing in mind that most people would expect a K31 to shoot a bit better than G96/11, I think you must have hit on the perfect resonance load for the long barrel of the G96/11. Well done. I will look for the Visier, but the load test in my Swiss icon

rifle will have to wait a while - it's BPCR at Alsfeld tomorrow!

n`Tag Patrick,
at first congrats to a "Really Senior Member" and thanks for the statement on the other LE thread. Sometimes it is better to be quiet when all things are said. I wish you good luck with the rifle and the weather. Hope you`ll get your british coolness back to cut out the bull of the target.

Regards

Gunner
