HC Deb 10 March 1891 vol 351 c600
CAPTAIN PENTON

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he can inform the House when, where, and by whom the new magazine rifle has been tested for range, and with what result?

*MR. E. STANHOPE

The new magazine rifle was tested for range in August last at Romney Hoy by the Committee on Explosives. The extreme range was found to be about 3,500yds.
