It left a mark

Hey, it's a mosin, that could've been ALOT worse... ;)

[Volzfan]

Wow! That's a real bruise!

[Tempest455]

That's nasty!

 

A M38 (the lightest Mosin) with a 180g soft point is downright wicked. You really don't want to shoot it more than 5X with a T-shirt on.

 

My son shoots every gun I have except the M38.

I'd have taped that bee to the target and shot his limbs off one by one! :lol:

I have built up my tolerance on the m38, I now can shoot 20 before I give the shoulder a rest. It is rare if I leave the range without shooting 100 rounds through various Nagants. I can't get enough of Nagants.

Have you tried 182g?

I am currently going through some Hungarian surplus that I think is 182gr, I could be wrong though. I know that I have several cans of 182gr surplus stuff, just not sure if this was that stuff, it felt like it was when I shot it. When I open a tin and plan on using it all in a couple of months I just dump it all in ammo cans and have it ready so I don't have to worry about opening a can at the range.
