I like the 351! Hey a trivia fact. Why did the 1907 have a plunger style charger instead of the side charging handle? ……….front plunger would not catch on a saddle scabbard! Mine will run at about 1550. Anyone able to run consistently below that?

The reason for the front plunger? John M. Browning held the patent on a side charging handle attached to the bolt.

I’m getting about 1400 fps consistently.

1400 is the slowest I’ve heard of one running. That’s good!
