Hello Buchseman,

I did some more shooting this week, (being mindful of the short barrel) with some 300g silver-tips.

Average muzzle velocity was 1835 fps. That's about 2250 ft-lbs of energy. That would make it a very credible back-up gun in India, and a reliable bear gun here in Wisconsin.



It shoots a little high at 50yds so I've been holding at 6 o'clock on the 5" bull. I wish my eyes were a little better because I think L3 was me.

In plotting the trajectory, 3" high at 50yds equals 4-1/2" high at 100yds and 2" low at 200yds, with 200yd energy still over 1500 ft-lbs.

The 6 o'clock hold works great for off-hand practice at bowling pins at 50yds. I've been averaging about 75% success. My best string has been 6 in a row.

BTW - A contact made on the "Indians for Guns" forum (India) who lives in Mumbia, (formerly Bombay) will be stopping in at M. Saleh & Co., (they still exist) to ask if they have any records or history of my rifle. I'm hoping to gain some insight as to who commissioned this unique piece.
