The thread got locked up in Rifle Country (for good reason).
But I was talking to max popenker about the particular cartridge that is used in the VSS and a few other Russian sniper and subsonic app firearms.
Case dimensions are scarce on the internets and was curious as to the actual bullet diameter, if anyone could provide that info...I am thinking that a beater mauser might sacrifice itself in the name of Science and Firearms Fun.
I am thinking like a 24" barrel, single shot, and powders used for large case and heavy bullets like perhaps Trailboss (if cast lead) or Blue-Dot or Red-Dot, Unique, AA#2, Lil'Gun, etc etc....
The conversion of bullet weight called out, IIRC, to about 250 gr. or so...perhaps sized cast lead bullets, gas checked, and thumped out with a 10 gr. dose of Trailboss might make a fun little target round...
