Default A quick first testfiring with the Astra Sport

Each of us two made some .38 Wacutter loads and we had to learn, that this round needs a lot of attention. Keyholes and tumbling bullets
are a standard routine until the right load for a specific gun is found. What works great in my Model 52 was a desaster in Dani's Astra.


The gun got a big potential. Dani made this 27.5 yard 5 round group in a free standing position. The powder was Solo 1000.


The gun will get now a special treatment by Dani. Complete disassembling, cleaning and oiling will additionally improve the feel of the fine lockwork.
