I have a M91 in the typical 7.65X53 caliber that I have used for quite a long time.
Just recently I began shooting it at extended ranges, running from 395 yards on out to 834 yards, shooting cast bullets.
My load for this shooting is heat-treated Lyman 314299 with the power charge of 40 grains H-205. This load provides 2150 ft/sec.
The load will print into 5 X 1.500 at 100 yards pretty much every single group and at extended distances its only drawback is that the poor little 30 caliber pills don't kick up enough dust to see misses every time when shooting at our hilltop range and steel silouettes.
The sights on this rifle are a Redfield globe front sight and a tall-staff Lyman (going up to 105 minutes of elevation) receiver sight. These superiour sights over the old military items are what makes the difference!
The rifle itself remains in full military wood, inculding ramrod and issue trigger.
Come shoot with us ~ pre-1900 long range military bolt rifles only at Sheridan, Wyoming this summer.
Good afternoon,
Forrest
