'36 91/30

Minute of pie-plate at 100yds.

I have a 91/30 and a Finnish M39. My results are pretty much in line with what others have said. The best milsurp ammo I've found for them is the 70s vintage Hungarian (best) and Polish light ball - 147gr - the ones with gray steel cases. The 91/30 can maintain 3-4 in groups, and the M39 half that. I love the Finn and rarely shoot the 91/30 any more.

 

[G23/40]

I have a 91/30 that has shot a 3 or 4 shot group at 100yds that a nickle would cover.
It's been a while back it was from a bench and bags.Iron sights.
I don't remember the ammo. Most likely some light ball.
I had a witness but no camera.

100 yards off bench. Ive done the russian book tips for accuracy, 3 point touch and cleaned up the trigger pull. Russian made soviet ammo. 1928 91/30 Ex-Dragoon. Last 3 rounds I had for the day, hence not full group. Rest of the day I shot close to this, but this was the best. The rifle does get worse as it heats up. Light ball is a must.

42 91/30 and m38

Both my 91/30 and m38 will put the holes inside an inch at 100 yds, since I scoped the 91/30 it is capable (although I am only capable on certain days) of putting them in a ragged hole, but only with max-handloaded sierra 180gr sp which measure .312-.3125". Both rifles are Ishvek and measure .312 grooves.

I should mention all other ammo is, as put earlier, minute-of-pie plate. Oh, and the reason Polish patterns instead of grouping? It measures .308 bullet diameter...

My Finnish mosins generally get 2" or smaller groups at 100 yards. My Soviet ones get 3-4" at the same distance. My 1941 VKT M91 Finn gets 1" regularly. The worst mosin I ever had could not hit the target at 50 yards. It was a 1916 Sestroyesk.

 

[Jotobo]

This is at maybe 40 yards.

 

[Jotobo]

I am still learning how to shoot it. I make the mistake of anticipating the recoil with it still.

I fit 5 shots in the palm of my hand (not literally!) at 75 yards, shot off a tree branch with iron sights and whatever the cheapest 7.62x54R was at my local shop. I love Mosins!

 

[Ds1]

Does anyone have any 300 yard+ (scoped) accuracy reports? I know people do it often, the 7.62x54R is very capable!

I have a M39 with a scout scope that will do less than one inch at 100 yards with Privi 150grsp. Using the same ammo, I have a 1937 Finn Izzy and a 1943 Tikka barrel that will do one inch with a scout mounted scope. I am sure some of my other Finnlander rifles will do as good but swapping the scope mount around is a PITA and I am too cheap to buy more mounts, 85 bucks a pop plus scope......chris3
