M44 range report....

[hybridatsun350]

I took my new M44 out yesterday and put about 120 rounds of Bulgarian 183gr heavy ball through it without a hitch. Decently accurate, but all I can say about that is the Russians definitely sighted them in with the bayonet extended! It shoots pretty dead-on with the bayonet out considering I'm not the best shot. Overall it was a blast to shoot, and my shoulder isn't even messed up thanks to my handy-dandy Kick-Killer recoil pad.

Mosin-Nagant M44: $89

300 rds of 7.62x54R: $50

Pissing all of your friends off with the muzzle blast: Priceless

I've got an M39 coming so hopefully I'll get to take that out soon!

Sweet. I just picked one up from Big 5 for $89 as well. ordered stripper clips from ebay and they should be here by the time the wait period ends. Now to go hunthing for ammo... :-) Sounds like you had fun. I think I will go with the lighter loads 147 gr i think for the M44. I'll give a range report with pics when i get the chance too!!!

The heavy ball is a blast, literally. It's like shooting a cannon!

I am a member there, but I haven't been on in a long time. I haven't been able to work on my car in a while either. It's really to bad, but the summer is coming up and I'll be gettin back to it! Are you a fellow Z fan?

Get your hands on some Ingman. That stuff is obscenely hot. It's the only thing that has uncomfortable recoil in my 91/30.

I shot some factory brown bear stuff ( i think 200grn),.... crazy commin out of a little M38.

I shot some of the 147 grn Hungarian, its OK.
