Went shooting today and was having issues with my M44 Mosin. I was shooting a bench and was having a hard time getting it to print on paper at 25-50 meters. Seems it was hitting about 5-8 inches low.

I made sure I was firing with the bayonet out...as I hear that they were sighted in this way.

Anyway I was shooting 180 gr. yellow tip Hungarian ammo. Stuff was fairly nasty to clean up to be honest. I went through 27 patches trying to get the barrel clean and that was only after firing 15 rounds!

I have also heard the some of the site posts on these Mosin M44's are a bit to high. Any truth to that? I think next week I am going to get some new prosuction Wolf or Tula to see if that makes a difference.
