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.

GOF

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

Met vriendelijke groet,

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. :D :roll: 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. :mrgreen:

dutch: what does "Met vriendelijke groet," mean in English? Just being curious.

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.

Met vriendelijke groet,

Martin

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

Met vriendelijke groet,

Martin
