    This stuff works just fine in my Mosin-Nagant at 100 yards. Service-grade accuracy, a little bit dirty, but great for the price for range practice. I would want a soft point round with a bit more accuracy to go hunting, but just for practice, these rounds make owning a Mosin-Nagant a very affordable package!

    amazing ammo great groups at 100yard with my 1928 Mosin Nagant 91/30 rifle the only problem is that there not as many bullets per box as there is in a surplus "spam can" which is 440 rounds i pefer the FMJ type i really dont like the JSP bullets their not as accurate as the FMJ recoil not bad at all with these bullet i wish the stores in my town solded them so i wouldnt have to drive so far

              Put this ammo through an M91/30 Mosin Nagant with no issues. It cycled fine and wasn't terribly dirty. It's pretty cheap compared to other new production ammo, but still more expensive than surplus. It works as well as or better than other new production stuff that I've used, and new production is almost always more reliable than surplus.

              Service and delivery comments:

              As always, Gander Mountain delivered quickly and the box was in great shape when it got to my door.
