Shown with a typical Finnish marksman. For those who hand-load 7.62x54R for maximum accuracy, I recommend my friend John’s Western Bullet Co. as the source of reloadable brass. Most .312 bullets work well in these.

Other people’s photo shoots

Posted on June 19, 2011 by Oleg Volk

I sat in a corner and took snapshots while Rebecca photographed Pamela. Since the photos were taken over several hours, the photographer’s own outfit changed (first to go out in public to lunch, then back for more comfort)
