Something better than a P.13 rifle

[harry mac]

Promo, are these rifles for shooting, or just for looking at? I'd be interested to hear what the procedure is for making the ammo (parent case, what bullet used) is.

Attachment 53826 If you remove the belt from the 275 H&H (center cartridge) you have a good start, but there are other cartridges that can be used too

Since I'm not a reloader and aswell more a collector than a shooter, these rifles are sentenced to be unused until I happen to come across ammo for it. I anyway have quite some P.14s and M1917s which give the same feeling in regards of handling. And only for the different recoil it's not worth the effort.

I once inquired at a company, they even had reloading dies in stock for the .276 Enfield. I didn't purchase them though.

I have seven rounds and two stripper clips. No incentive to shoot them up.

As Promo lives in Austria, a better choice for a reformable cartridge would be 8x68S.

How about it Promo ... you just give me one of the P13s and I'll make up some ammo for it

Patrick,

if you make up some of the ammo I'm willing to make a meeting of us two where each of us can shoot one of the two rifles. That is no problem. I anyway live close to the border of Germany.
