than a M44 or 91/30? big difference...

More than whatever I shot Friday night. I have no idea what it was. They just insisted I shoot it and frankly I was disappointed, it was kinda tame.:p Maks, what was it? It looked like a 7.62 x 54 cartridge. Is there a larger caliber $80.00 Mosin?

    You should have gotten the other one. Today I cleaned mine (the one you shoot) looks real nice and it is ready to fire all that surplus can down range :D I'll let you try it again next time I see you in CJ.

    To each his own..

     

    I don't currently have a mosin, but I appreciate them..

    M44's have a shorter barrel and therefore more kick :)

     

    I heard that, but in my experiance with the two I've had.. the 91/30 had much more noticable kick.

     

    Powder burns more fully?

    91/30 would probably kick harder, but M44's are gonna be MUCH louder due to all the unburned powder leaving the barrel...

    I haven't shot one side by side so I don't know for sure. I figured the muzzle velocity on a 91/30 would be greater due to greater utilization of the powder.

    Negligable velocity difference. In looking up the weights, the 91/30 and m44 are nearly identical in weight, actually. Its the M38 thats nearly 1.5 pounds lighter than the 91//30. Using that with identical loads will yield this:

     

    Recoil pulse: 2.62 lbs/sec seconds for both

    Recoil velocity in FPS: 9.6 (91/30) 11.27 (m38)

    Free recoil energy in ft/lbs: 12.6 (91/30) 14.79 (m38)
