Practice Cartridges M39-Ub
Sight setting for Practice Cartridge M39-Ub

The Table column headings are:
Weapon - Target Distance - Sight Setting

Maximum Shot Distance of the above named weapons: 2700 meters

Thank you for the help. I figure it is corrosive and I will try it in my 91/30 sniper rifle at 100 yards. I ended up with a 50cal ammo can full of it and it was packed away. I had forgot all about it
