    Shooting The 71/84 Mauser



    I am taking this one out today to fire off the last of the smokeless "equivalent" ammunition that I got with the rifle.
    It is hard to credit equivalency when the rifle recoils like a .22 and sounds like a Benjamin pellet gun.
    It doesn't like these loads, either. I get wildly variable results.

    If you have decent 777 loads you would like to share, or even straight-up BP, whip them out please.



    It's a Jaeger rifle, so the unmatching triggerguard swivel has been removed.
