    good stuff for indoor, good potential for outdoor

    I've never had use for the 7.62x54R until an 82-year-old Mosin in stellar condition came to me by way of a trade. Never having fired off this round, I went looking for a load I could use at my local indoor range, and TrueShot came through with this jacketed lead-core fodder.

    Not only is TS local to me, they had a great price for brass case, non-corrosive lead-core rounds, and this stuff did not disappoint. Function was perfect through the old bolt-action, accuracy was better than I'd expected, and each shot produced minimal residue. Post-shooting clean-up required little more than running a brush through the bore followed by a cotton patch, and a minute or two getting the action tidy.

    As far as power, the combination of big rifle (30-inch barrel) and full wood stock helped tame recoil, and even though the Mosin's stock was fitted with a steel buttplate, my shoulder never got sore as I ripped through a couple 15-round boxes. Generating about 2,500 ft.-lb. at the muzzle (170 gr @ 2,575 fps), this 7.62x54R load approaches 30-06 power with far less felt recoil, and accuracy was decent with 2" 5-shot groups at 75' (fired standing/offhand), especially considering the weapon's age and a trigger pull too high for my gauge to even measure.

    I am definitely satisfied with this as a round for plinking, and will try it at longer distances the next time I go shooting in the AZ desert just outside the metro-Phoenix area.
