I went over to my range today to test some handloads for a couple of my Mosin Snipers. Well I start shootin my "restored" 1933 PE and an old timer that hangs around my range comes by. He looks through the spotting scope as I finish the string and he shouts " MY O MY BOY, WOOO WEEEE, THAT IS SOME DARN TOOTIN GOOD SHOOTIN!" I can see that the group is close but he wont let me look through my spotting scope. He says "you gotta walk down there and see this in person." So I trudge down to the 100yd targets half freezing and this is what i saw. I think I found that magical combination when it comes to this rifle........

 

 

 

10 shots at 100 dialing in

 

Final 5 shots. Dialed in

 

The culprit

 

And who says that Mosins arent accurate?

Sweet rifle, sweet groups! I like the wood

Very nice, and I stil have 1 of the 2 thats still packed away ready to be brought to life and shot.

That's dam impressive! What kind of groups were you seeing prior to these handloads?

To be honest caine I dont remember. It has been about 2yrs since I shot this gun. I remember it did good with Hungarian Surplus, but I never fired handloads out of it.

awesome groups! I too had my Mosin out at the 100 the other day and, well, nevermind...

Makes me want a Mosin!

 

Nice shooting!

I want a sniper or a sniper replica.
