Portuguese M1904 Verguiero
6.5x58 Portuguese
| I'm told
these are hard to find, especially in good condition. Most all had been
shortened and rechambered to 8mm Mauser. This one came to me from fellow
collector Mr. Wall. I took it to the range with handloads formed from 7mm
Mauser. I had to stop after 3 rounds, due to signs of excessive pressure
in the fired cases. But, as you can see to the left, the 3 shot group at
50 yards is promising.
Now I'm back to the drawing boards
to work up a safe, reasonable load for this rifle. |
