Here's an oldie of mine, plan on hunting with it some this year. About .44 Mag ballistics.

Looks like a nice S[SIZE=-1]wiss or Italian Vetterli rifle. Where you get the ammo for it?[/SIZE]

Swiss Vetterli, 10.4x42 Swiss, AKA .41 Swiss. Bought it some years back, and it sat in the safe. Thanks to the magic of the internet, was able to find examples of centerfire conversions and loading guides. Conversion ro centerfire wasn't difficult. Cases can be made from .348 Winchester, shortened and formed, with about .006 or so turned off the case head. Bore is less than pristene ( A POX on those who shoot corrosive ammo thru classic firearms and are too lazy or ignorant to clean properly!), but should be ok. I'm going to try her out this weekend, and if she groups at 50 yards or so, she will sit in my stand this year waiting her chance.
