I should probably bring my chronograph with me next time and check the velocity on that Herters. I’ll bet I find some pretty wide swings in min/max.
I should also run a couple boxes through Mrs. L’s Mini 14 for comparison purposes.
Yeah. Probably several hundred FPS at the extremes. Like I said, it’s just for practice.
I’d be interested in seeing what it would do in a Mini. When I started having problems with steel-cased in my AR, I was tempted to get a Mini, and if I hadn’t discovered the “one round of brass for ten of steel” trick I probably would have.
From what I’ve read, Minis do well with steel cased. If it doesn’t, I’d be interested to see if you have the same results mixing the brass and the steel.
