I’ve always wanted a pu good shooting!

[HARRYMPOPE]

Just got done with the am shoot did a little scope adjustment to get zeros at 100 and 200 yards here is the one 100 yard group and two 200-yard groups. It may not be a match rifle but I really can't complain shooting the gun bone stock at the accuracy I'm getting

i have 4 PUs , several PEM's and PEs, plus a 1928 Tula GeKo and they are all excellent shooters, never tried cast thru any of them, but might after seeing this. where did you get the mold?

i have a NOE 311365 that i beagled and it drops abt 313 and 202g with my alloy that i was gonna try in some of my non sniper mosins to play with

[HARRYMPOPE]

got the 311407 off ebay.the NOE 311365 is from sample bullets from my original ideal mold btw.great mold.might not need to make it bigger mine shoots ok at .310

[pacomdiver]

id prob use unbeagled ones for the snipers if i tried them, but i was figuring for the more "experienced" ones like some of m91s or older 91/30s just to plink with, i also was gonna try some of the lee 155s in them too

[HARRYMPOPE]

I use the nei 72 Harris bullet in many on my mosins.its the original Harris bullet, very much like the Lee.it.was my go to till the 311407 came along

I've got 20 (36, just counted) or so Mosins I never seem to shoot. Recently got all the reloading dies brass and such and have a few good moulds to try. Just need time now. Have a Finn model 24 that shoots factory ammo really well, I suspect it could be a top notch cast shooter too. Nice shooting, I'm getting more inspired to load some 7.62x54r and cast. I have at least slugged all bores so have an idea where to start. (-:}

You got her shootin down right respectable good job sir . What will it do with standard surplus ball ? I'm guessing about the same ?

I have had good luck with the Lee 310, 170gr flat round nose, unsized tumble lube with lee alox, and 15 gr of Unique. Shoots a ragged hole at 50 yds, and around 1.5 inch groups at 100 yds with open sights. This is out of a mint bore Sako and a Tikka, both shoot great. I have a mismatched parts gun, new Russian, shoots about 3.0 at 100yds with same load. The Tikka is a SKY, homeguard that the owner had to pay to have a better barrel put on, the trigger and action slicked up. It was shame the previous owner had put it in a synthetic stock, with sling and bipod on it, but may have helped with the shooting I have since obtained an original stock, just need some barrel bands to put it back authentic.

I have a finn 39 stock and handguard sans that im.not using
