The "B.PLOMB" mark clearly indicates this rifle was proofed with non-jacketed plain lead bullets, which means it is intended for black powder or light nitro-for-black loads, but not full nitro express loads. The oval-with-AF is the mark of August Francotte, oval-with-ELG is standard Belgian proof, lion-over-PV is smokeless powder proof, crown-over-R is long gun proof.



The standard nitro-for-black load is a 365 gr. bullet at about 1800 fps. It's a great round for nearly any size non-dangerous game.
