So, normally I go to a buddys club to shoot this thing. No problem.
Well my brother leaves for basic Tuesday and really wanted to run a few rounds through the Mosin before leaving. My buddy is out of town and cant have us up this week. So, my first though is MFL. I call up; no steel core allowed. Freakin great considering you wont find true lead core on a whim unless you have a Yugo source or some Privi collected dust in the dark corner of your safe.
I buy a box of LVE (for $1 a round mind you) and hope that they will view it as bimetal ball and deem it acceptable. Long story short: no dice. Magnet sticks, it gets rejected. I even asked them to cut the bullet in half to make sure.
So now I have multiple packages of 54r, an eager (now disappointed) brother and a determination to find a place I can fire this.
I am joining a club soon, but waiting on my review/raise at work amd until I buy a new car.
Anyone have any ideas? Id pay someone to let us in as guests at their club even! Or you can shoot the Mosin til your hearts desire, ammo on me.
Im available all day Friday, SaturDAY and Sunday, as is my brother. He's experienced in firearms too.
Any ideas brain trust?
