Re: The best Mosin sporting rifle project in world history

three interesting old ammo boxes were coming to surface last week
this are very old 10round sako boxes, one with 16,6 gramm FMJ bullets and the other with 10 gramm(154 grains) FMJ bullets. to bad they dont come into our hands so we dont know how the cartridges look. the 16,6 gramm bullet may look like the 16,6 gramm softpoint and was probably intended for shooting moose. the best explanation bokmal had for the 10 gramm bullet is that it was made for shooting the big wood grouse. on the way to the 9 mm makarow pistol bullet that weighs 95 grains.


the other box is a 1970s Sako box with 15 gramm FMJ bullet. it came in bokmals hands and we will see pics of the cartridge.


reminds me on the Norma 9,3x57 ammo with 15 gramm FMJ for Target practise
http://www.norma.cc/en/Products/Hunting/93x57/Norma-FMJ-232-gr/
but his round is only load to 675 m/sec when the Sako round is labeled with 735 m/sec muzzle velocity
