Load data for caliber "5.6 x 35 R Vierling"
The 5.6x35R Vierling is a centerfire cartridge that is primarily used in combination hunting rifles, also known as Vierlings. These firearms are designed to fire four different cartridges, typically two rifle cartridges and two shotgun shells.The 5.6x35R Vierling is a rimmed cartridge that uses a .22 caliber bullet and has a case length of 35mm (1.378 inches). The cartridge was developed in Germany in the late 19th century and was primarily used for small game and bird hunting.
The 5.6x35R Vierling cartridge is still produced today and is used primarily in Europe for hunting small game and varmints, although it has become less common in recent years. It is also used in some combination rifles for target shooting and competition.
Due to its small size and relatively low power, the 5.6x35R Vierling produces minimal recoil, making it an ideal cartridge for younger or inexperienced shooters. However, it is important to note that the cartridge is not as powerful as some other hunting cartridges and may not be suitable for larger game.

C.I.P.
The Commission internationale permanente pour l'épreuve des armes à feu portatives ("Permanent International Commission for the Proof of Small Arms" – commonly abbreviated as C.I.P.) is an international organisation which sets standards for safety testing of firearms. (The word portatives ("portable") in the name refers to the fact the C.I.P. tests small arms almost exclusively; it is ordinarily omitted from the English translation of the name.) As of 2015, its members are the national governments of 14 countries, of which 11 are European Union member states. The C.I.P. safeguards that all firearms and ammunition sold to civilian purchasers in member states are safe for the users.
To achieve this, all such firearms are first proof tested at C.I.P. accredited Proof Houses. The same applies for cartridges; at regular intervals, cartridges are tested against the C.I.P. pressure specifications at the ammunition manufacturing plants and at C.I.P. accredited Proof Houses.
