Re: another rifle

PWM-

Interesting feature for that gun, the insert looks like a good simple design.
The rifling twist rate is so fast! I guess it needs that if there is only going to be an inch or so of rifling.

The gun looks nice too.

With your new Mauser, what is the performance of that 11mm like with those different three bullets?
What are the weights/velocities of your loads?


Mehul-
I've seen the current catalog from Greg Martin, there are some nice guns out for offer this time, I don't think I'll be bidding on anything though. There's a damascus barreled central fire SxS bore rifle I might show up for just to see what happens with it.

The SxS sixteen bore rifle I pictured here is not the mahillon, it's my other pinfire SxS 16b rifle. This one has shorter barrels, is just over a pound lighter, and runs shorter cartridges. It shoots very flat across 100yards. I have great respect for it as a pig, deer, and close range elk or bear gun. The Mahillon is much more ornate, the barrels are heavier, and it runs at hotter velocities to shoot together.


Still, that Mauser has the kind of Gusto to get me excited about bolt guns. What a honey!
