'66 Winchester Target fired @ 300 paces in October, 1866
« on: February 13, 2008, 08:22:01 AM »
From an early Winchester Catalog -


WINCHESTER REPEATING RIFLE
at a TRIAL by the
Official Swiss Commission, at Aarau, Switzerland

caliber 44/100

large squares indicate half of a foot
small squares indicate one-tenth of a foot



The rifle used was an infantry model. 28 of 30 shots in one square foot at 300 paces. Impressive!
