I have guns that I've owned more than 5 years and never shot. Which reminds me does anyone have some 310 Cadet they are looking to part with?-I bet there's people on here that have guns they haven't fired in five years
This is nice when you can see the post against the target well enough . With the .100" front sight on my 1 903a3 i love a center hold same with my fat sight AR.Fair enough. I don't mind figuring out a hold for the battlesight but if I have a way of making my point of impact and my point of aim match I like to use it. I'm so used to holding low with many rifles (i.e. early Mausers) it's nice to be be able to hold right on target for a change lol

To find a nice swede rifle. Still kicking myself for not snagging one from samco global few years back. Friend of grabbed a sniper model from them for $400 ....its very nice.
is that a brass pin repair on the wrist of that M1917? Better find out if thats legal if you plan to head to cmp games with it.Better than I ever did with it the once or twice I shot it. Trigger reach was a little far for me.
Well done.

Good catch, I hadn't noticed it myself but I just took a look and it's definitely brass.is that a brass pin repair on the wrist of that M1917? Better find out if thats legal if you plan to head to cmp games with it.
Not a real cat. I just acted like one in my youth, when I wasn't as ugly.Soooo...you're not a cat?

Hot damn I want a Swede really bad. I can't buy anything else until I move this year though. Just bought a Smith Corona 03A3 with original stock/barrel that gauges at 1 and I'm taking it out later today with my 'standard' 168gr loads I think.
he load I found that works for my M1917 is 175gr Sierra MatchKings over 47gr of IMR4895 (this is within published loads but the usual disclaimers apply...). I had tried some IMR4350 I had on hand but I couldn't get consistent results (I was getting one or two random fliers in 5 shot groups). IMR4895 was much more consistent for me and I found 47-47.5gr is the sweet spot.
Dont dismiss lower end of load data.P.S. I coincidentally decided to start working up a load for my Winchester M1917 with pristine original (3-18) barrel (gauges at 1 and has no signs of pitting) and had settled on a 175gr projectile after a bit of research. I'm going to start a little lower for safety sake, but will likely just end up stealing your load data. Thank you for posting that.
Winter ends March 20th....plenty of time for a few clean targets.Sir...you are underestimating yourself.
You, at the very least, just TIED first place for bragging rights...but you may very well have just 'sealed the deal' with a 99 2X!
Your first target is a 98 or a 99 2X and your second target is a 95 2X! If it breaks the line, it counts.
VERY nice rifles, and even nicer shooting!
Hot damn I 'need' an M96...wtf?!?!
Stand by for the judges decision...

Dont dismiss lower end of load data.
So far other than some AR loads my milsurp loads are performing best for me at the lower end of data.
Unless Im punching past 200 I see no reason to load any hotter than needed
I dont know what Franco runs for garands/30-06?If you should know anything about me by now, it's that I've definitely followed your lead on LOW end data and beyond. I love my pussy loads for the Garand, and 99% of them cycle the ones I shoot at CMP matches, so why switch? I'm saving 4+ grains of powder and my shoulder by not loading to the guineas specs!
Non of my rifles grouped well past 46 grains and that was a loose standard. I was holding to.I think he told me once that I should be using 47gr of Varget. All my rifles seem to cope with 43gr all the way out to 600yds, but i’m Fairly positive i’m losing accuracy at those distances.
The pro shop I order my projectiles from online has has 175’s in stock fairly regularly as of late.

Most of my milsurps are minute of black with good ammo a little better with tuned ammo.
I'm gonna have to go through this thread and see what I still haven't shot for score yet.
I think for rifle for true milsurps it's just my M1s and my SKS, clones notwithstanding.
I took the Friday off before my birthday so if the conditions qualify, maybe I'll just do a bunch of targets.
