But I will be running it in a 1940 uniform, with a Mosin. A Finnish M39 Mosin, sure, but still a Mosin. That means that I have a lot of things already working against me, and the last thing I want is to have the rifle not shooting to point of aim on top of everything else. So today I&#8217;m taking my M39 out to the range to test out a variety of ammunition.<\/p>\n<p>The M39 sights are nicely adjustable for windage, but elevation is a fixed scale &#8211; so I need to find a brand\/loading that hits at the 150m battle sight setting without needing to hold over or under. The Finns used a 200 grain projectile, so I dug up several loading around that weight &#8211; 200gr Wolf, 204 gr mystery ammo, and 206gr Bernaul. Then I also brought some Czech 148gr light ball, Wolf 174 gr, and lastly PPU 182 gr &#8220;Match&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Rather to my surprise, the PPU was dead on, as was the Czech 148gr ball. The PPU also made the best groups, and didn&#8217;t cause any sticking go the bolt (which the Czech ammo did). So, that&#8217;s what I will be planning to source for the match! <\/p>\n<p>Contact:<br \/>\nForgotten Weapons<br \/>\n6281 N.
