The 7.62x54R for hunting: I'm a believer.

I used my mosin to take this buck at 50 yards using 150gr sp handloads. It dropped on the spot. I was in a stand - my mosin is a 1929 Tula hex receiver. I can easily shoot 2" groups at 100yds.

Thanks to Mother Russia for making these great rifles be available to us at affordable prices. The 54 R is lot of power even in today's standard considering its 122 yrs old. Amazing .
Im proud i got several collection of the Mosin nagant and the Finn M 39 which i used to take a wild hog. The Seller Belliot 180 gr SP is also one of the best commercial loads out there and very accurate. Only ammunitiontogo has them from what i know.
