I shot this target @ 100 yds. today with my 1884 Berdan II rifle.



10.75x58r Russian brass using 330gn paper patched bullet, 20gn IMR SR 4759 (Pufflon filler), CCI #250 primer, and COL of 2.900". I used my new MagnetoSpeed bayonet mount chronograph and got 10 shots ave. around 1375 fps. COW book says ML (BP) is 1410 fps. Below is the rifle in question.



P.S. I know it is not a MN but more people view this forum than the "Obsolete" category!

Lookin good!!! SW

That is good shooting.

+1 on that , congrats , i'd love to shoot so well with irons and in a vintage rifle such as that - nice rifle too

I would count that as a Mosin since I'm sure Mr. Mosin stared at it a lot.

Nice info on the brass and load.

I did handle one or fire one at the last milsurp shoot in Gibsonburg, Ohio. I was in awe.

Best Regards,

These are great shooters. I have one that's Finnish Civil Guard marked I obtained when I was in Finland.

How hard was it to get into the country? I've heard stories about guns languishing in customs for months.

I saw a Comblain in Europe I could afford but was leery of trying to ship it back. SW
