Re: Pretty M44's
Ok. I may have just goofed up. I was on the 2 page and asked a question about "New" Mosin Nagants and then realized that the post date was in 2005. I necroed a thread by accident.
Sooo, I'll ask it here. What does "New" Mosin Nagant mean. I just started collecting and have three M-N's and they are all "Refurbs". The plus side is that they are all accurate out of the box, but I don't like shoot copper clad (condom) out of these "Old Ladies" and only plan on cast as much as possible. Sorry for the seeming ignorance. Thanks, GOF
ETA: I'm making a guess here. Would it be NEW ENGLAND WESTINGHOUSE ?

Welcome to the forums. Like your handle. I feel like that could apply to me too.
New England Westinghouse is right. First letter of three words.

Again...welcome !!!
I answered your question anyway.
Might be a good thing to "blow some life" into an old post.

Re: Pretty M44's
Thanks for the welcome, guys. Some forums I go by goofyoldfart and some I go as grumpyoldfart . I guess it just depended how I felt on the day I signed up. Don't know alot about the M-N's other than the three that I have shoot awfully well. They kick like a mule on my tender 65 yr old shoulder, though. this is the reason that I want to shoot reduce velocity cast for accuracy and hunting. I feel (believe) that a well balanced to bore and groove heavyweight (175-210) will give what I want. ease on shoulder and when hunting, penetration if properly placed. don't plan to hunt/shoot past 200meters. can't see well enough. Any suggestions on good starting loads would be greatly appreciated.

GOF,
"Met vriendelijke groet" means "with friendly greetings".
I'll check some of the reduced loads I have for my Mosin Nagants and will get back on this subject ASAP.

No problem GOF.
Check the reloading forum.
I made a post on reduced loads I use in both my M39 and M91/30.
