     OTHER DESCRIPTION  THis round worked well in both the Bersa and the K-T. They were used for general target practice. I can't comment on the accuracy as the shooting was done freehand and at various distances. They seemed no different than any other round.

     GROUP SIZE   1 to 1 1/2 Inchs @ 50 Ft.
     OVERALL LENGTH   3.5 Inches
     GUN DETAILS   Cimarron/ Uberti Mod 1873 "P" Jr. 32-20 / 32 H&R Mag. Duel Cyl. (Size of 22 Single Six) The fit & finish outstanding, no cyl locking bolt drag line after 300 rounds: Problem with 115 gr blts sized .312 /3.8 gr unique it printed 10 in. low and 6 in. to right. Increasing the load to 4.2 grs. of unique and increased size to .314 dia. shrank the best groups to about an inch at 50 ft. from a sand bag rest. I then filed to front sight with try and error by about half. Opened the rear sight to the left and it now prints dead on.
     OTHER DESCRIPTION  This is a great fun gun. I found an Original Winchester "nut cracker" tool in 32-20 WCF, on Ebay, that turns out neck sized rounds faster that a single stage press. The Lee case length gage in M-1 carbine will drop in as a replacement decapper, as it is often lost. I made a brass powder dipper from a cut down 9mm case with a wire handle that works great. Its not as fast as my Dillon, but its more fun.
