The Mosin I have been playing with the most all summer has been my Molot import 1943 Izhevsk 91/30 PU sniper. So far I have been shooting five round groups of basic Russian and Bulgarian surplus ammo. However I do sort it out by weight, and then check for concentricity. Yesterday the two younger boys went with me and shot Wyatts 1940 Tula. They did very well on some zombie targets. I did my serious shooting with the sniper and the best I could get with yesterdays Bulgarian surplus was 3MOA. One group at 200yds went into 4inches, but the rest were all spread out to 6 inches. I would love to tighten that up before fooling around at the 300 and 500 yard distances so it may be time to play with cork shims. So far, every outing has been pretty steady with the 3MOA regardless of the surplus ammo. I do have some 174gr Silverbear to test still, so if anybody has some experience at 200yds and farther with the heavier stuff I would like to hear about it!
