Mesa,

I have a buddy who (like me) really likes German rifles. He has a nifty kipplauf (break-action single-shot) in .25-35, called the 6,5x52R over there. He loads it with the 115 Ballistic Tip to about 2600 fps and has killed a lot of game with it out to 200 yards, both in North America and Africa.

The .25-35/6,5x52R used to be chambered in quite a few single-shots and drillings. I have an old Sauer hammer drilling imported to America by Charles Daly that's 12x12/.30-30, but understand some were made in .25-35, both in hammer and hammerless models. Would love to find one of those!
