Finally got to the range today to shoot the BRC Borchardt that I received last fall. It's a 32-40 with one of the BRC choked barrels. I shot it with a 205 grain bullet and a charge of 14.2 grains of 300 MP. The attached group was at 100 yds. Can't wait to try it at 200 yds. I'm very happy with the rifle.

I used Winchester LG Rifle magnum primers. The spread was lateral. I hung the target sideways. Anyway, the spread probably has to do with my failings as a bench shooter I appreciate your comments, John.

Darn fine group for a first time out!!!   it will improve with a little more lead down the tube. Those BRC barrells are showing that they are shooters!

With a bit of sight adjust that would have been one of the precious 250s some around here like to talk about. That'll never get any higher. But the group, the group, could end up becoming something really special.
Great barrel they've given you, and some really promising shooting on your first time out with it. Nice.

The 25 ring measures .760

looks like you can't email brc.
a phone call fro oz is a bit expensive.
can they do a 40 cal 1:12 twist?
keep safe,

I've been shooting my BRC 18 twist choked barreled 45-70 some the last couple of weeks and have gotten what I think are pretty good results so far. The only plain base 45 bullet I have is a 335 gr. flat point made for hunting with another rifle.  It's a little short for a good match bullet but I can usually keep the five shot groups at an inch at 90 yds. on a calm day. The wind seems to kick the little thing around though. A 385 gr. gas check round nose shoots into 1 1/2 or so. It's not a quality mold and I don't like gas checks so I won't be using it. Ken Lewis told me that I'd do better with a bullet of at least 400 grs. I'm researching molds now and will get back to shooting it in a month or so.
