91/30 Groupings

May want to look at this:

The ebay seller he mentioned just had a Mosin mount up for a bid, but I looked again and they were gone. He must be listing more every once in a while. By the look of his Mosin stuff, it might very well solve the winage problem automatically (though a sight would do too).

I think drill and tap. I'm buying the Brownell's Nagant scope mount and a turned down bolt, and then I plan to put a Nikon Monarch 6x42 on there. This rifle has no collector's value anyway, so I don't mind modifying it.

Careful about the turned-down bolt. I know someone that ordered one of those cheap turned down bolt handles from Numrich and it looked like ass. Make sure it's a decent one like those bolt bodys from Boltman.
 
Oh yeah, those ones are way better than the ones that Numrich was selling. Those Numrich ones were basically stock Mosin bolt handles except the handles were bent.
 
Oh ok, yeah I saw one of those before and they do look like crap. They are extremely short and a pain to try and use, especially when used to normal bolts.

91/30 groupings

If Sellier and Belloit (possible misspelling, not sure) is available, it shoots well in mine. I also take military surplus rounds Disassemble the bullets from case, then reload in S&B cases to 30-06 velocities with Federal 215 match primers or Remington LR primers and have a cheap blast. The original loading/twist suggests a 150 grain bullet... unless you have one of the earliest ones... or my Winchester model 1895 lever action will only shoot 190/200/or 220's... haven't tried my 240 or 250 gn Barneses yet... may be time to try them in it as soon as I get back to the states. BTW, S&B's are Chechoslovakian ammo... non surplus. Also, try slugging your barrel as it may be larger than .308... I've seen the barrels up to 312 to 314 or 15. Thats one reason the military ammo is hollow-based so it can "slug-out" or slug-down as need be. You may need to use either lead bullets .001 larger than bore size, or go to an M-88 bullet(.318 if need be) . There are bullets for the 7.7 Japanese, and 7.65(I think this is the correct one) Belgian/Argentine Mauser in between. Hey, a thought... If it will be the right size, use a 303 British bullet in it... :cool: :cool: :D just remembered that one... I read an article in a gun magazine back in NC before I came up that mentioned reloading for the 7.62x53.5/54R think it said u can use it if need be.
 
Thanks for the post, and welcome to the forum.
Thanks for the info! I'm not reloading yet but when I start I'll keep this in mind. Thanks again!
