M91/30 Sniper

[Patrick Chadwick]

Since the Hornady #3130s have reached the status of financial "unobtanium" over here, I tried some Sierra 180 gn ProHunter bullets. They are a very good replacement for the (also rare) 174gn original flat-base Enfield bullets.

Attachment 43300

And this time, it's a genuine 5-shot group. 100 meters, not 100 yards. So the touching 1" group is well within 1 MOA. That's obviously about as good as I'm going to get with the PU scope, but it should be good enough that I do not come last next weekend against the black-plastic high-tech shooting machines.

BTW, not wishing to be too historically hidebound, I tried one of these .223" shooting machines as well. Awesomely good!

More after the competition!
