The Russian testing showed that Boxer priming was superior to Berdan in this application, so they switched to that. (I have no idea why they decided it was superior, but it will be interesting to see if they can be reloaded once or twice!)

I said it was a rumor, and as all things rumored to be from Russia, it must be taken with a grain of salt! But the old saying goes, "Where there's smoke there's fire!"

Who'da thunk the lowly potato, that did not arrive from the New World until the latter part of the 1500's and did not become popular in Russia before 1830, would become the source of the signature drink!
This is another example of technology in action -- the sailing ship and horse-drawn wagon.
Cheers!

Most anything that has sugar in it can be fermented. Grains to make beers. Honey to make mead. Fruits to make brandy. Even mares milk can be fermented and drunk. And in cold climes they would put it out side in winter then throw away the parts that froze first, leaving behind the higher alcohol content.

Evidently the term 'Vodka' predates the introduction of the potato by a few centuries with the 8th century and 9th century for Russia mentioned. The distilled version appears to have made it to Russia in the mid to late 1300's --- and, yes, grains are and were among the sources of sugars for fermentation.Last edited by Guest; 05-19-2014, 03:07 AM.

I mean, just 'cause we can't see the gunfire is no reason to keep us from smelling the gunsmoke...
