The 7N1 is the best I have found.

The Armory: 7.62 x54r Ammunition, ammo, Remington, Winchester, Corbon, S&B, PMC, PRVI Partizan,PPU, Wolf,

Ammunition - Shop Premium & Discount Ammunition at MidwayUSA

etc

The Prvi Parizan stuff is awesome as well. Anything boxer primed, you can reload. Hang on to the brass.

I will be PMing you my address so that you can send me a spare MN91 as a finder's fee...

Might check with the dealers on here, too. Might be a discount for members. Dunno.

I've found that in my rifles it varies on which factory round shoots the best. Yugo M30 heavy ball is one of my favorites for longer range shooting, along with Czech silvertip and Hungarian yellowtip. That said, I've got my best accuracy with handloads tailored for the rifle. Personally, I think the 7N1 sniper round is a lot of hype when used in the Mosin as the round was made for use in the SVD rifle and in my Mosins, anyway, it is no better than most other surplus.

Prvi and s&b

Really, or is that a joke? Not bashing, just asking. In handgun ammo s&b is about the only brand I refuse to use.

My experience with it has been positive in milsurp and copies like the 1911 and Taurus 92.

As for how it performs otherwise, I couldn't tell you. I've used it in 9mm, .45acp, and 7,62x54r.

I bought it when I thought I was going to start reloading for the Mosin-Nagant. I was wrong about that, but enjoyed how it shot and how easy the extraction was compared to the milsurp stuff. This was from a highly polished then crosshatched, totally dry, chamber.

Gotta ask, where are you finding the heavy ball, all I can find is 20 rounds here and there. Everything in larger quantities is LPS.

I'm going to have to look into some of these. I normally just buy random surplus stuff at gun stores and gun shows.

 

[23mar03]

^ Same here.
How much of a difference does it actually make? Why not buy a few spam cans of surplus?

 

[Mordred]

The Federal Gold 168gr is what the military uses...but it will cost ya. I just use standard Remington 150gr you can buy for $17 a box at any Dicks sporting goods. On another note, ive noticed that its starting to get hard to find .308 ammo.

Lately most of what I've seen has been at auctions, but some does show up every now and then at the distributors. It's definitely not near as available as it was a couple of years ago.

I like the privi and the S&B. Then I reload them with 180 grain Nosler ballistic tip bullets, very accurate. I have seen videos on youtube of a Mosin shooting 1000 yards
