That’s good shooting, I really enjoy seeing you shoot the old gun, as you probably know the 1886 is my favorite gun of all times, I really enjoy those old guns thanks for sharing, PS I would like to see how your paper patch
They are unwinding, cool you could put little messages on the patches like a fortune cookie. Kenny, That really put a smile on my face Thank you. Hmmm Varget.
Great Job. What fun. I'm actually working on a vintage 30.06 Match video for my 03A4, M1C, and M1D. Love seeing this kind of work over people blowing ammo @ 50yds. Keep up the good work.
Very cool. I have been planning to do something like this with a 6.5 sweed mauser and the 8mm mauser. I think its awesome seeing what marksmen and soldiers used to shoot and how far today's rifles have come
@@williebulletman5217 yeah, mine are still good for some iron sight long distance shooting, but they start to fatigue earlier than they used to, and stuff starts getting blurry.
BTW they make a noninvasive scope mount for this rifle that attaches to the screws on the bottom of the action and the mount bridges over the rifle to hold the scope. It looks strange but it works. YES, more load development and velocity tests.
More on paper patching please. Mine always turn to confetti. Didn't know they were supposed to just unravel. Would like to set how to develop the load correctly.
Amazing how good those rifles were built! 👍 Glad you have good enough eyesight to SEE the target at 500 yards! Good job, Kenny. Hopefully you'll show us your secret to paper patching?
That is awesome man! Nice shooting! I like the way that action operates. Except for the fact that it ejects the brass off your forehead 🤣 Great vid, Kenny
How did make your ammunition, I’ve been looking for ways to make ammunition for that rifle but I haven’t found anything useful, what did you do and how you get your ammunition
my 1917 306 shots first 3 accuarate. with barrel heat they spread out. let it cool and shoot 3 more and its good again. perhaps your seeing a bit of that.
If you were to take the stock apart you would see something amazing, the barrel is free float up to the end of the wood were there is a brass ring that connects the barrel to the stock. They knew all about keeping the barrel consistent way back then.
I USE TO SHOOT WITH A GROUP OF SWISS RIFLE SHOOTERS IN THEIR CLUB IN CALIFORNIA YEARS AGO. THESE GUYS NEW ALL THE TRICKS HOW TO TUNE THESE RIFLES. ONE BASIC TRICK THEY TOLD ME TO DO, WAS TIGHTEN BOTH SCREWS EVENLY TO THE SAME TORQUE LEVEL AND BACK THE REAR SCREW HALF A TURN. IT HELPED IN THE ACCURACY AND SHRINKING THE GROUPS DEPARTMENT.
Greatings, was wondering I m considering buying one these guys, but I m facing a technical question, for shooting purpose, should I go for 1889 considering the bullets are hard de find but the rifle is at a good price in my place or should I rather consider a Mauser m96, bullets easier to find but rifle more expensif, and in terms of performance also? Great video btw 🙂
If you haven't got the supplies to reload that ammunition, you're better off with a Mauser. A lot of work goes into making these old guns shoot safely, and sourcing the ammo is nearly impossible.
I'm curious what you used for the paper patched bullets. I tried using.a 180gr .311 that I cast in mine, paper patched to .321"-323". It stripped the patch in the chamber on every shot. So I just went back to 150gr speer jacketed soft points.
Just forget the patch and load normal cast loads. You don't need the paper or even to trim shorter. Keeping the loads light on jacketed reloads is important though.
I LOVE MY COLLECTION, THE ONE THAT I HE IS SHOOTING, HAS CUSTOM EUROPEAN MATCH SIGHTS ON IT. IT SHOOTS LIGHTS OUT WITH MY 168 MATCH LOADS AND EVEN THE FACTORY MILITARY LOADS.
@@ek8710 NO, I SHOOT THOSE OUT OF MY K31'S. THE 1889'S TAKE LOW PRESSURE RELOADS. I ALSO HAVE A K1911 CARBINE. ACTUALLY COME TO THINK OF IT, 15 YEARS AGO I SHOT A 1911 ALSO WITH CUSTOM MATCH ANSCHUTZ SIGHTS MOUNETED ON IN IT WITH GP11 AT 200 YARDS, I WAS GETTING 2 MOA WITH IT.
Your rifle likes the bullets and the powder, on the first few shots. The reason it started to be all over after the 3rd shot was that you shot it too fast and it started to get hot (they have a pretty lightweight barrel, even though the whole thing is huge). I suggest you try it again, and take 1 shot per minute or something like that and see how it does!
No need to trim your brass shorter for these...mine shoots great with .309 powder coated 180gr cast bullets. Youre pushing that jacketed load though...these aren't made to handle even low end GP11 pressures.

I gotta get me one of these now. They should go on sale again soon
That was fun! Those old war horses still have a lot to give and show. Thanks!

Absolutely awesome looking rifle

That would be an awesome video👍
Love Swiss rifles. Great video. Thanks
That’s a thing of beauty.... very nice 👍
Great job. I am using IMR4064 and 190 gr gas checked. Nice work!
cool to see you enjoying some old iron sight milsurp rifle shooting... Gotta do the long stuff while your eyes are still young and good.
Full.Lead.Taco yes sir you need those young man’s eyes
@@williebulletman5217 yeah, mine are still good for some iron sight long distance shooting, but they start to fatigue earlier than they used to, and stuff starts getting blurry.
Yea sir I understand that they should say I’m legally blind but I’m not
Man that rifle sure is Purdy. Such a fine piece you got there Pat! I'm jealous but happy for you 👊😎🇺🇸
Me two my friend in very Jealous
Very cool video! I would love to learn more about the paper patching. Sweet old rifle slinging them in there. Good stuff man
I would love to see some patch bullets being made. Awesome job Eagle 👍
BTW they make a noninvasive scope mount for this rifle that attaches to the screws on the bottom of the action and the mount bridges over the rifle to hold the scope. It looks strange but it works.
YES, more load development and velocity tests.
Great shooting for open sights. 👍👍🇺🇸🤓🧻🧻😷😷
It's such a cool rifle. 100 years old and it's ringing Steel at 500 with modern ammo
Nice shooting at 500 with no scope. Thanks for sharing.
Dude this is some good timing, just got one of these :D
Love my 1911 and K31 so much fun to hit a 600 and up with iron sights and gp11
More on paper patching please. Mine always turn to confetti. Didn't know they were supposed to just unravel. Would like to set how to develop the load correctly.
500yds with a 100 year old rifle👍
I’m liking everything bout that long gun except for the ejection patterns 😆🤪👍🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸 might want to look into head protection 🤔
Amazing how good those rifles were built! 👍 Glad you have good enough eyesight to SEE the target at 500 yards!
Good job, Kenny. Hopefully you'll show us your secret to paper patching?
Dang Kenny the rifle is almost as long as your Truck Bed ..... good shooting
Pretty stinking cool in my book!
That is awesome man! Nice shooting! I like the way that action operates. Except for the fact that it ejects the brass off your forehead 🤣 Great vid, Kenny
Hahah yeah that hurts
That rifle sure is sweet
ThecrazyScotsman yes it sure is sweet
Good stuff bro very cool 🤘🏾
Please post more on paper patching. I want to start developing a paper patch load for my 338 LM and there’s not much out there on this lost art. Thx
Nice shooting! I just got my 1889 last night. Ammo is unobtanium in March 2021.
Good job Eagle Eye!
Nicely done sir ... 😁🇺🇸👍
Looks like fun

@@Plainsimple67 WOW THANK YOU I WILL TRY THAT
Remind me to never piss you off. My god your shooting made want to drool.
I'm glad if I can hit 500 hit scope , pretty impressive

Considering how weird GP90 was, those are good results.
Great title
Lol Thanks!

Look up what the GP90 round is......... and what the 1889 Schmidt Rubin shot......
Just forget the patch and load normal cast loads. You don't need the paper or even to trim shorter. Keeping the loads light on jacketed reloads is important though.
have you tried a cheap drone from walmart for the really long range?
Jeremy Gunslinger no Sir Kenny is the man with electronics he will make his own no need to purchase one already in
@@williebulletman5217 I was thinking about getting one for longer than 100 yard.
I LOVE MY COLLECTION, THE ONE THAT I HE IS SHOOTING, HAS CUSTOM EUROPEAN MATCH SIGHTS ON IT. IT SHOOTS LIGHTS OUT WITH MY 168 MATCH LOADS AND EVEN THE FACTORY MILITARY LOADS.
I hope those factory loads aren't GP11 pressures...

A brass catcher just wouldn't be right.. ha
Would have to tape it to my forehead... maybe a mini nerf basket ball hoop will work 😂
Okay then.. time to pull out the 3-D once again.. ha
