Low recoil 7.62x54R

[Garand46]

Made it to the range today with some 150gr Hornady .312” spire points over 39.0gr of H4895. We got the mosin sighted in at 100yds and it was printing right around 2” groups. I’m sure the rifle can do better, but without proper load development I’m very pleased with the performance. Recoil is nice and mild with this load. Once the Hornady bullets are used up, I’m going to work up a proper load with the Speer .311” soft points.

Yes sir. Ive since put the rifle in a Boyd’s spike camp stock, and am working with IMR4320 and Speer 150gr soft points.

The metal to wood fit between the rifle and stock was horrendous, so I took it my friend to have it properly bedded. I really like the stock.

Very nice! Boyd's stocks usually look great. Maybe this weekend I will load up some M39 loads and adjust my front sight. I want to take some does with a military gun.
