1,000 yards 1942 91/30 Russian Mosin-Nagant (P/U) sniper rifle

Ive glass bedded the receiver, removed the upper hand guard, floated the barrel, and removed both front and rear iron sights.

Additionally, Ive researched tons of various loads for this, and found that the 200 grain match (reloads in .308 diameter bullets) with 50.4 grains of IMR 4350 seem to be the best combination for my 91/30's1,000 yards 1942 91/30 Russian Mosin-Nagant (P/U) sniper rifle

mag30th: my MN91/30 is a 1937 tula, round receiver, recrowned, floated, bedded, 4x32 EER, very nice bore. 0.3115" groove2groove. My choices are 174gr, 185gr, 200gr for reaching out to 880m. Based on your experience, can you lead me to the better choice in terms of bullet mass, and bullet diameter? Powder I can figure out. This again is for 880m or more. I have to use EER beacuse of my eyes. It is just me. Thanks.

@alsatian9130 1 of 2 Without experimenting with each load on your rifle and just guessing, I would go with either the 174 (.311) or the 200 Lapua (in .310), and out of those two with yours at .3115, I think your best bet would be with the 174 match. In this rifle here in this video, 200 grain in .308 worked best, while the .308 diameter bullet was terrible in my other rifles.

2 of 2 The Lapua seems to work very well overall in all the rifles in all of the rifles, while in my original 91.30 sniper, the 174 in .311 (with 48.1 of 4320 IMR) flat out was the best. I sounds like a beautiful rifle you have there, I hope it works out for you.

errrrmm why does he uses his middle finger?

[mag30th]

@903strikerunit I have nerve damage from a neck injury, my index finger and thumb on both hands used to give me lots of "issues." But in the last few years things have improved somewhat and Ive been able to shoot some of my rifles with the index finger.

I've been checking out these videos for a long time and have wondered (and sorry if you've already answered this), what kind of camera are you using to film the range? The video goes from very close, like a 55mm lens, out to what looks like 40x magnification. I wasn't aware that there was an adjustable zoom lens that allowed that much difference in magnification. Just curious.

[doggonemess1]

@solittleusernames He's using the force, actually. If you look carefully, you can see the energy distort space and time as he guides the bullet to the target. Just kidding, great video.

@BucketBoi420 I know, seriously. Can you image using a modern rifle as a club? And then shooting it afterwards? I think any rifle from 1890-1940 would handle it just fine. I seriously doubt a modern assault rifle would take that kind of abuse. That's why they call them 'battle rifles'. :)

[lazarra101]

Damn thats far.

[mlindsay527]

Good shooting, even the misses are nothing to be ashamed of!

@VaultboyTheGenius Skill...

[weponspec1682]

@mag30th You can get a two stage hair trigger. It might help.

[VaultboyTheGenius]

How would you hit an enemy if he would be moving?:)

[iJantsa]

next up: hit the same target with the default 1000meter irons

[jesse17ful]

I use 203 grain rounds for my dad's mosin nagant. Dam you should have seen people were like, dude you would be able to handle that, and I was like, Well just did and Im doing it again.
