The Werndl rifle and the 11.15x58R cartridge - Mad minute 

Because of this channel, I now have two beautiful M1867 rifles of my own! These videos gave me a new appreciation for antique arms, and I'm honored to contribute to the care and preservation of such pieces.

It is great how my favorite historical shooting channels does a collaboration on the Mad Minute. The Chap on the BotR covers the French and less ubiquitous rifles, Rob in britishmuzzleloaders the British standard arms, and Nemeth from capandball the Ausro-Hungarian rifles. Looking forward to more videos on the subject from all three channels!

Great job! Loving the conversion rifles putting in a good show!

Once again a fantastic effort. The walking ramrod is a feature not a bug! It reminds the shooter to clean the rifle after an intense series 😆 A shame about the ejection issue. The 1873/77 I had ejected very strongly indeed. The smiles on the faces of my fellow mad minuters after their runs make it totally worth it 💪

Ez az első videó amit láttam erről a csatornáról. Mondom ennek Magyar akcentusa van. Éééés Igen ;) Nem hittem volna, hogy van minőségi Magyar youtubeos aki fegyverekkel foglalkozik. Feliratkoztam!

Excelent.shooting! Excellent groups !Excellent presentation! I like the presentation of the Werndl rifle .The reloading of the 11.15x58r cartridge. Keep the good videos coming David Back from Menifee county Kentucky USA

you video's are always something great with the historic insight in the weapons . great channel :)

I have a Prussian double-rifle in this chambering. I've spent years looking for information on it. I'm so glad to see it on video. Thanks.

You and British muzzle loaders are the best historical shooting channels on RU-vid by far.❤

Insane how cool the Werndl rifle and most of the early single shot rifles looked .The feeling of chambering it with a round that you treat as special and you take your time aiming as you focus fully on that precise long range shot or just quickly reloading it with great haste to hit many targets ... just amazing .Pair it with a uniform of the time , a Saber and a Smith and Wesson Model 3 and I could take on the world . Why have they never done proper repros of the early single shots ? .

Great stuff! Thanks for sharing

Excellent as always.

I need to watch more often this was wonderful.

You bring the coolest stuff 😎

Most excellent video, amd great skills on the “mad minute”!

AWESOME WORK!!

Nice smooth shooting on that mad minute!

Well done once again

Fine video and performance. Thank you.

Nagyon jó videó!Szépen megtöltötted kézzel a lőszereket.

Ön egy Úr :) Köszönjük a videót.

Thank you, excellent video

I love watching people use these old fashioned guns, they are so cool

Have seen you use this same powder thrower before in a previous video. What is it? Who makes it?

Fine shooting. Thank you for sharing lol. Beautiful firearm.

Wonderfull! I find interesting that the one in the C&Rsenal video had, more or less, the same extraction issue.

Great video, very entertaining.

Thanks for your Work! Even if your Work is FUN! looks like a hard-hitting handy rifle. NICE Grouping too.

I really like this rifle, I was at the Steyr factory recently and they had a bunch displayed.

I had one of these Werndl's and loved it! I sold it years ago and went to buy another last year. But I cannot afford the price now to get another. Now in USA a clean one is $800 .to $1200.

I liked the skilled hands rolling the patch on the bullet. That took a lot of practice.

This is a pre-Martini Henry Breech Loading Rifle. The Austro-Hungarian empire was so technologically advanced that it made Skoda brand cannons in world war one.

I bought two of these rifles, 40 years ago for $ 150.00 for both guns, I have Deer Hunted with them, range fired them, and they have been on many camping trips with me, great rifles...

While I have several bench mounted reloading presses, I also prefer to load my 11.15x60R and 45-70 with hand tools... specifically the Lee hand press. After watching you use an 8mm die to crimp your cartridges, I now use a 22-250 bullet seating die to put a nice taper crimp on my 11.15x60R. Thank you for the tip.

Great video!

thank you for sharing

This is an outstanding video. I have reloaded for Black Powder Cartridge Rifle. I have found that using a drop tube of at least 1/3m helps give me a cleaner burn Also, I leave the slight flare on the case mouth, I feel that it helps clean some of the fouling out of the neck area of tapered and necked cases. I reload for 1886 Winchesters, 1873 "Trapdoor" Springfields and 1885 Highwalls and Low wall Winchesters. You must flatten the flare for the lever actions but can leave it in the single shots.

Another wonderful video, thank you... :-)

That method of paper patching is so satisfying!

u are very hard working man👍👍👍

Great video

V good video Very good rifle and shooter. Congratulations

Very nice. I recently picked up a very banged up one.

Спасибо 🙏 большое, с удовольствием посмотрел Ваш очередной выпуск! Творческих Вам успехов!!! 👍

Well done sir!

Muzzle velocity and accuracy are damn impressive. That thing looks like it shoots MOA!

Very ice video, thank you.

This is fascinating!

I've never actually seen one. Only know of them thru C&Rsenal and "Rifle" and "Handloader" magazines. I do think they are things of beauty. That is TRUE handloading.

I love your content, I'm a very big enthusiast of old firearms and love shooting them. If you have a chance can you please do a video on the blunderbuss.

nice demo of a neat rifle

Grazie x avermi accolto.

I’m a spolier when I’m not ready to watch this.. but awesome info great shooting!

Don't know why I love those silly things. Got to handle one once (not fire, just examine) and the mechanism is just wierd and great. Couldn't afford to pick that one up, sadly, but I would love a modern version. Not specifically a repro, just anything with that wacky action. Very satisfying to work with. For some reason.

Случайно наткнулся на этот канал, очень круто, спасибо! Big thanks to your channel

This is indeed a very interesting item especially the cartridge

Awesome!

Wow....love the reload

That was amazing.

How many times can you reload a given case? Is there any limit or will the brass keep working?

Watching the cartridge reloading process, I have to wonder if a muzzle-loader might not be more economical in time for recreational shooters.

It's a beauty!!!

Excelente Canal! Armas de fogo históricas e explicação detalhada de seu funcionamento! Perfeito! 😊👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

thank you

Hello, where can i find bullet mold for bulets you using in video?

Hello :) Elegant rifle, thx for nice video :)

Why do you size the bullet after patching? What is the purpose of sizing?

Muy buen vídeo!

I'm in the States, I have an original model 1873 Trapdoor Springfield. I am going to get a wad cutter and a few other tools and load it with the Holy Black. It is 80 years older than me as it was built in 1876 according to the serial number. It should be fun

muzzle velocity we actualy get is always under the initial velocity. first reason: the developper of the rifle could have said more than he realy had. second reason the cases today are very sturdy and thicker than ancient ones, resulting in fewer powder inside. 440 m/s is realy good

Very interesting rifle. I must say you have some big cojones pounding on that primer the way you do 😳 very cool rifle though and great video😁👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I like the action on that rifle

I always figured a Werndl would be quick handling. I bet it would kick out shells if you chopped down on that action with the edge of your hand. It was meant to be worked hard and fast. Thumb it over and bang it open. I have a Lebel that runs perfectly if you treat it like the Huns are coming, if you baby it, it runs like shit.

Very dangerous reloading!

EXCELENTE !

what is the reloading setup at 4:30 that is being used?

all started with that smile that damm smile

Saudações de um seguidor brasileiro. Ótimos vídeos!

Thank you for this wondefull Video and the challenge . It is amazing to see how good this rifle is Take care stay healthy Yours Frank Galetzka

It fires 11.15x58R custom tooled cartridges at 5 rounds a minute. It takes 4 days of training to load this weapon... in twelve seconds.

This range looks awesome, does it have a website?

I love early cartridge guns! How is the gas seal on the Werndl? Watching you shoot, I don't see much smoke escaping at the breech.

Nice video, like always 👌🏻👍🏻 ! Which case de you use ? Sorry if you say in the video, my english is not perfect.

Very cool old rifle.

Perfekt 👍

just curious how much it costs if you're reloading them

great fun

Ah yes, the 11.15X58R ! The gas station on main street has a two for one sale on this ammo.

Another excellent research based video, but why not use a reloading press instead of hammering the sizer over the case, a cartridge holder can easily be made to fit that rim. Chris B.

Grease cookie is my new favorite word

nice handloading

What is the original brass used to make the cases? 45-70? (I'm assuming that nobody's making them from scratch for a niche market.

All black powders shoot better with a clean bore including this one too-(?). Mine did. Those cartridges are huge. Hate to be hit by one of those. Very unique loading. Grouping isn't all that bad really. Very unique loading of the cartridge itself too. That is a very nice powder measure that you have. Never have seen anything like it before. Rapid firing wares me out just watching you. Great video. Loved every second. Our black powder factory is shutting down in America. Hope that someone will pick up and carry on the tradition & manufacture.

Klasse .

Long live the walking cleaning rod! That last round was unkind to you, the look on your face said it all!

Same cartdige of the Remington Rolling Block Spanish and the Argentine Model. A powerfull shot, called in Argentina as "Mata Indios" or Indian Killer

How on earth do you find brass for such an odd size?

Sou do Brasil gosto muito dos seus vídeo sobre armas antigas 👍 I'm from Brazil I really like your videos about old weapons 👍

Nice

I know it's how they did it back then, but did anyone else pucker up when he was smacking the primer in instead of pushing it in like we do with a modern press?
