7.62x54r velocity

[fargone4sure]

Hi Guys,
I have a MN 91/30 sniper with the company recalibrate SVT scope, and am wondering what bullet weight, and muzzle velocity the rifle/scope would be calibrated for?
And if anyone had load data that duplicated that load?
thanks for your help.
Ken

Here's a pretty interesting pdf file on a test run on WWII sniper rifles - https://www.milsurps.com/attachment....mentid=18320&d

Some links and web sites that are helpful if you have not seen them. 7N1 has been around for a while, designed for the Dragunov, and more recent 7N14 AP, works very well in the Mosin and similar to the ammo used in the past. Generally a 150 gr bullet going about 2750 fps.
