The service proof load is 3.5dram or around 95gn. That would put me well over range limits so I must get to a longer range to try.

    The first thing people comment on is the case hardening on the lock so Tony Kinchin rightly deservess praise.
    In any case, the standard service load of the day was the same for the P53 and all its derivatives - 2 1/2 drams - 68.5gr of FRP. Even THAT is not a whole lot of fun after twenty or so shots...
