If the mag has an "X" on it it's still a PSL.

What's the deal on 7n1? Is it really worth $260? What makes it so great?

Hello,

It has a slightly longer, slightly heavier (152 grain, IIRC, vs 147 grain), mild steel core bullet boattail bullet.

Velocity is reduced to around 2700fps.

Because the bullet is longer (due to the steel core and slightly heavier weight) it is better matched to the Mosin's 1:9.5" rifling.

It's also loaded a bit more precisely, but it's not really much better than modern commercial ammunition.

Consider that the average troop's ammunition had bullets weighing from 146 grains to 152 grains and powder charges all over the place, the 7n1 was a definite improvement.

It is not an improvement over modern ammo.

Regards,

Josh

I'd much rather have a dragunov. I have all the mosins I want

Can I ask what kind of rifle you want to shoot with this kind of ammo? If you already have a tin of this stuff why not open it and try it? I think unlikely you can buy a 20 round pack.
Pics are always nice for the thread.

Send me a package and I'll accuracy test it with my 91/30 if you'd like. Heck, I'll do a side by side comparison with some handloads.

I have no great urge to send corrosive through my rifle, but I'll have to clean it before each load, so it shouldn't matter in this instance.

Regards,

Josh

I've got a PSL and Savin for a SVD. I just don't wanna open it and have it shoot horrible then keep a $230 paper weight. I'm lookin for a smaller quantity
