I read a rough translation, and it mentions swaging the .458 bullets down to correct size, and says the 400gr .458's are good for it. From what i gathered it seems the best accuracy had was 6" @ 100m using 500gr .458's swaged down.

I'm suspecting the Gevelot factory load was the .445 at the moment. They're speed's listed were very slow, around 450m/s (1470fps).

Do you know anyone who speaks French and has time to translate for us? I don't know anyone with that time or who speaks French. But hey, we managed to get the full article, and the whole magazine as a PDF can be bought for 1 euro.

Also, i think that rifle appears to have a rather nasty crack in the buttstock?
