Hello, gentlemen: It looks like there are more ultralight 450 DR than I thought! I have a Auguste Francotte in 450 3 1/4 that weights a shade over 6 1/2 pounds (3,05 kg). It looks very much lik the 470 Francotte you can see in the Forum. The serial number is 79703 and I am told it was made in 1920-21, quite late I think for a NFB. It has the lion over "PV" and the "balle plomb" marks, so I think it is a NFB. It shoots very well with Hornady and Woodleigh 350 grain and Hornady 300 grain bullets, 2" or less at 50 meters. Have any of you tried the 450 NFB Kynoch ammunition with one of this ultralights? Kynoch says it shoots the 350 gr Woodleigh at 2150 fps. Anyone knows something about the purpose this Belgian DRs were made? PD: What is the system for sending photos to the forum? Tahnk you. Antonio, Spain |
