The D-166 or the D-46 are both very accurate fodder. I have shot both when I was in Finland and that stuff is usually better than the shooters.

Those D-166 and D-47 bullets are hard to beat. I bought a load of those off a fellow Internet shooter some time back.

How do you loosen the bands on the 91/30 rifle? I don't see a way to do that?
Load 'em tight, shoot 'em straight.
