My .30 Shooter Works Pretty Well

Google translates much better than I could, but it is still amusing to read the strict literal translation and how it leaves the final connection to the imagination.

My favorite is "the squatting of the barrel...washed with parabelum (is) 1:11; which I "think" means the twist rate of the barrel is 1 in 11!

Hi,

The German barreled 7.65s had twist specs of one in 9.84 inches (250mm). What twist was used in the Finnish replacements is unknown to me.
