I purchased a yugo mauser 24/47 a few years back and have really enjoyed shooting it
The 8 mm hits like a ton of bricks and could probably humanely take any north american game animal
My Bison Armory 6.8 AR15 is amazing with sub moa
I wanted to get my Mauser to this level as well
Action 1
Bed the stock
Action 2
Add scope mounts and 3x9 optic
Action 3
Handload
To this point, my groups were averaging 1.5 moa
I decided 3 weeks ago to take some additional steps
Action 4
Buy and install a Bold replcement trigger, to get rid of rough military trigger
Action 5
Load closer to the lands, increasing the OAL
Well..... I tried it out this weekend
I used 6 rounds of older reloads to foul the barrel (shorter OAL) and the group printed around 1.2 to 1.3
At this point....I'm thinking.... I got this MOA thing!
NOT!
My new longer rounds printed at nearly 3 inches........ Ugh
Any thoughts ? Anything else I should try? Should I call it good?
