Okay, I have seen Mosin's for a while now but was never tempted to buy one because of what I have read about them. For instance, the recoil is excessive and harsh, one guy even compared it to firing a 12 gauge slug. Well, I found an M38 in really good condition and got it. It is truly a nice rifle. While the muzzle flash is impressive, (my buddy nicknamed the rifle "boomer"), the recoil is not at all bad. As a matter of fact, I have had .308's that kicked harder.
Anyway, on to my questions. I initially fired Wolf ammo out of it, and it would hold minute of silhouette all day long at 500 yards. Then I ran some surplus of unknown origin through it and about 20% of the shots were way off. Like 2 or 3 feet off the target at that range. Looking at AIM's website, they list Hungarian light ball, Czech light ball (steel core), and Hungarian heavy ball. Which of these has proven to be the most accurate for y'all?
