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.
