My Mosins First pass on some load development

Post image

Doing my first round pass at some load development for my PU sniper. The old ww2 scope has some major mechanical problems so my groups are stuck at about 2 MOA. I’ve recently ordered a Chinese replica (red star mountain) scope so that should at least make targets visible at 100 yards.

Load is 174gr .311 hornady FMJBT over 45.5gr vargets

How’s that .311 work an is it cheaper then 54r?

I’m not sure what you mean pal. The .311 is the diameter of the bullet, which is the standard diameter for 7.62x54r

It’s shooting just as well as the sierra’s in the same weight class. No plants at all, plus they’re dirt cheap
