Thread: 5.6x57 single shot project

I can't comment on accuracy as yet, but now the rifle is "complete" I managed to get a couple of test shots off to make sure it held together.


Load was 44gn of 2213sc behind a 75gn eldm, this should have roughly replicated the factory ammo (74gn at 3400fps)


This uncovered an issue that I thought might pop up.


The firing pin is much larger in diameter than a normal rifle (2.5mm vs 1.6-1.8mm) which caused primer blanking issues. So now it's time to turn the firing pin down and bush it to a more acceptable diameter.
