ken98k Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 I loaded up a few rounds for my Hungarian Manlicher. I got about a 4" group but the rifle shoots 6" high at 100 yards. 43 grains IMR 3031. 205 grain Hornaday SP (.330 dia.) Privy cases. CCI LR primers.

ronploude Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 ken98k, My rifle also shoots high also. I've shot my rifle with 8X56R surplus ammo to try it out when I first got it with the idea of reloading for it later. Later never came. The short light rifle kicks lick a mule and is unpleasant to shoot. With the wide grouping at 50 yards, I decided that, even if I could improve the grouping with load development, it still would never be a pleasant rifle to shoot. It now stays in my gun cabinet as a collectors item. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I located several hundred rnds of ww2 surplus (nazi headstamped) shortly after buying the rifle. I'm thinking about trying one of those slip on recoil pads.
