I went to the range yesterday. Went to shoot a couple of my new rebuilds.
A couple of Chech Mauser/Isralli Mausers in .308
I bought them as "U Fixems " from CIA arms for the receivers and bolts.
Both bores were well"OK" but noting to write home about.
New wood in Manlicher style.
With 30 grains of IMR 4895 I shot low and to the left.
About a 2 inch group with 8 rounds. at 100 yards ( steel plate)
OK i said move the front sight a little when I get home and should be great
Same gun same day ,(have not moved the sights yet.
14.5 grains of unique shoots low and to the right.
Again about a 2 inch group at 100 yards , (steel plate)
Temps about the same. no wind to speak of.
Barrel temps same as I let it rest before changing powders
All said I need a little guidance on what to do.
Am uping the unique to 15 grains and will check it next range day but could use any ideas as the old warhorse is really a fairly good shooter.
Forgot the boolit was a lee C308-160-F both time , Gas check and lube the same.
