'43 Spanish Long Range Rifle
« on: April 11, 2004, 04:10:46 PM »
Does anyone own one?  What do you think of it?  

I've heard that they have a rolling block and are as expensive as anything for long range matches (cost of ammo I mean.....).

Is the cost made up in accuracy?  If the two can be equated......

Brass is expensive for the 43 Spanish. For accuracy and affordability go with the 45-70. For less recoil the 40-65, 38-55, or 38-56. In the 45-70 with heavy bullets use a 1in 18" twist barrel, in the 40-65 a 1 in 16" twist. In the 38-55 and 38-56 a 1 in 14" should do for bullets up to 330gr. Rbump
