Reloading is the only way to go with the old milsurps. You can use lead bullets and low power loads that are perfect for old guns at 100 yds. And its really not that difficult. A 170g lead bullet and 14g of Red Dot make a very easy shooting and accurate load for all the old bolt actions.

I reload 9mm largo using .38 super brass and 9mm bullets using a standard 9mm sizer/seater. I adjust the die so the entire brass fits, haven't had any problems.

Since I retired I'm shooting a lot more and make a point to take down an old rifle for range time. I shoot most all mentioned - GW98, 98K, MkIII, MKIV, 1903, 1903A3, M1917, Type 99s, MN 1891, MN1944, Carcanos, 1917 Lebel, MAS 36, but the two that are absolutely best in fit, finish, machining...

I love old WWII guns. Took the German handguns off the wall for a range trip a few days back. : 1930 Commercial C96/1944 High Power/Pre war FN 35 Highpower/1943 Walther P38/1944 Mauser P38/1944 Spreewerk P38/1918 Erfurt P08/1937 Mauser P08/ and GSG MP40 9mm. <img src="https://" /> <img...

They are out there - just have to look in the right places

Great shooters - '69,'85, '44, and a prewar [/url]002 by sgtroadkill, on Flickr[/IMG] [/url]002 by sgtroadkill, on Flickr[/IMG] [/url]001 by sgtroadkill, on Flickr[/IMG]

I stalk hunt with a M-4 in .223, tree hunt with a scoped Marlin 30-30, mountain hunt with a scoped Win 94 in 30-30, field hunt with a Win Mod 70 in .308.

We have three of the Kahr built "Inlands" at the gun store where I work. Decent looking, feel good, they stayed true to the design. But not $1K worth.

Great time had by all - my daughter goes shooting whenever she gets home - her favorite

Here's an option- I don't recommend it though. Thompson-LeGarde Tests of 1904 The first somewhat systematic and recorded attempt to test handgun stopping power in the U.S. (at least that I know about) was the Thompson-LeGarde tests of 1904. These were conducted to evaluate a small number of...

Over the years I've had a .222/20 ga, 30-30/12 ga, and a .22 mag/20 ga. Traded them all - its still just a basic break open single shot rifle/shotgun combo. Handy but nothing remarkable.

Don't have anything to add to this informative thread but I'll contribute with this: Its my carry gun - 1974 Ex West German Police in .32.

Thanks for the info - when I eventually send it on down the line I'd like to tell what the lugs are for.

Mine are either .223 or .308 with a lot of 30-06 as back up - when I have to move around or travel its .223. Can't beat it in an M4 for size, accuracy, weight, firepower, and can carry lots of ammo. For sit and defend its .308. Long range. 30-06 for Garand and hunting rifles.
