Recently, a gunsmith friend conducted an experimentHe took surplus ammo, took out the bullets from 20 roundsMixed all the powder and distributed powder equally in all 20 roundsAfter 5 shots for tuningHe was shooting within 2-3 inches at 200 yardsSo all those Mosin Nagant Haters, it's the shooter and not the gun so why so much bashing against a great rifle which won the war for Russia? If Vassily Zaistyev could use it why not use it for hunt?
I think the best present you can give her is peace and quiet.
You should give her a back hand to the faceThat'll display some interest.
Well since she took time time out her busy schedule to make you a sandwich then I think you should buy her a new house, car and a ringThats the LEAST you can do! :)
That's an experiment right out of the archives of a Mosin forum discussionI'm thinking it's from THRI actually read about that last weekI tried to find the link, but I couldn'tThe guy used a kinetic puller, dumped the powder, and standardized the charge with a reloading scaleI don't remember exactly, but I think it shrunk the groups down to something like 2-3 at 100 yards with no other modificationsFeel free to look it upIt's out there somewhere A 91-30 is a fun rifle to experiment onPulling bullets and averaging loads costs nothing, and it's a perfect rainy Saturday projectI pillar bedded one of my Mosins using scraps of thick walled aluminum tube and hardware store DevconI used Kiwi shoe polish as a release agentI saw it online, and I gave it a tryIt cost $10 and I didn't have to risk damaging one of my good rifles with my amateur gunsmithingNext, I may cork the barrel channel I have guns that hold .5 100 yard groups, but I still have fun messing around with accurizing cheap surplus riflesIt's a perfect way to get deeper into the sport than anyone who simply swipes their credit card at Cabela's and walks out with $2,000 rifle/scope comboIt helps you learn why guns are accurate, not just which guns are accurate.
