Hi,
Just went back from the range, the results are noticeably better than expected...
A good picture is better than a long speech, so what do you deduct please?
BTW, I have not found residues in the bore, in contrary of using the same powder in my Swedish Mauser.
Regards

Re: Vithavuori for the 30-40
Hi, Tomorrow is an other range day, so I hope having better results! For the moment I only vary one element, namely I slightly increase my load to see. I have taken your advice into account, but after analysis I think that I have an aiming problem associated with too low loads, and certainly I've no...

Re: Vithavuori for the 30-40

Re: Vithavuori for the 30-40
Gentlemen, I asked this question because on my other us weapons, namely for my P17 and 1903 the sight calibration for my reloaded 30-06 ammunition does not correspond to my POI compared to the real distance. For example, to hit full center a target placed at 100 m with my P 17, I have to display 400...

Re: Vithavuori for the 30-40
Hi
I'm planing to shoot my reloaded 30-40 ammo, for the first time in my 1898 this Sunday.Not knowing the calibration of the rear sight, what range should I display on the ladder for a shot at 100m?
The goal is to hit the target to be able to correct according to the result.
Best regards

30-40 brass substitution
Hi;
due to a shortage of 30-40 brass, is it technically possible to reform a functional 30-40 case from 7X57R brass?
I know, It would be better with 303 but a friend gave me a big package of 7X57R.
