... I'd like to think that Westley Richards wouldn't have put a small front bead, and a 5-leaf rear site (50 - 300 yards) on a rifle if it wasn't meant to shoot to those ranges.
I should know the answer to the regulation question 15 seconds after I fire the first pair over the chronograph.
I have always viewed the long range multi leaves on DR express rear sights as more of a "marketing" gimmick from a hundred years ago.
With that barrel that rifle was definitely designed for close quick shots and probably as a howdah rifle.
I am interested to see what velocities you get with the 'standard' load and how they compare to a full length barrelled rifle.
