It's been a while since I shot the .58 Roberts RRB. I'd not chronographed this rifle before, so was curious what it would do. I was pleased to find this load of 60gr of Goex 2F under a 494gr bullet averaged 1139fps. Not too shabby!

Like the video Steve , that old .58 is a bit quicker than I would have guessed . Bet that carries a Wallop !  ,,,DT

Yes, it has a bit of whomp to it. Of all my rollers, this one has the smoothest action of all. Its as smooth as butter.
