A Brit-chambered martini, .304 Paper Patched?
22/04/05 02:38 PM

I was out working up some loads for my Tolley double rifle at a friend's ranch the other day, when at tea time my friend brought a very nice martini with the tea.

This gun had a story, it's good to have a story to tell over tea.
Seems this rifle was one of a battery of guns ordered for -someone- way back when for a safari. This rifle was the last to be delivered, it was handed over before the engraving could be done. The rest of the guns from that pile were fully covered in game scenes and fancy scroll work.
This one has the borders, but no engraving to speak of.
The owner of the gun thinks it came from the francotte shop. I think he's right.
It's set up for 303, it's stamped so too. It has a standing rear for 50, flip blades for 100, 200, and 300 (probabally meters)
It looks like it's set up for paper patched bullets too.

Anyone here ever had or shot a Martini that was set up to shoot paper patched .304 bullets?
Any tricks to get it running right?
Favorite loads?
