Re: A Rare 9.5mm cal. Peterlongo Take-Down Mauser - cased

Hello All,

I got the rifle in hand yesterday and I couldn't be more pleased. The rifle is a 9.5mm Peterlongo caliber. A .375 dia bore. I have shown the proof stamps that I found on the barrel and hope someone can explain their meaning. I also show 5 cartridges that I loaded and a case label I made for the rifle's case, I used the chamber cast to get the cartridge dimensions. Its rebated case made from 375 H&H brass with the belt removed and the head rebated. They are loaded with a fire-forming load of 56g of IMR4064 and a 235g Speer bullet.
