The recoil doesn't seem too bad IMO, I shoot 200gr. match-grade ammo, so that might help. Despite being 5 rounds and bolt-action, it is by far one of my favorite guns to shoot. I just wish the ammo was more readily available.

I nut only for the Garand Ping

*ping*

I shoot just standard 148 grain PPU stuffs

Isn’t it just basically a bigger 7.62?

I mean I guess <w>

what’s the muzzle velocity with those 200 grain projectiles?

2181 fps

According to PPU

Oh so a bit slower

I’m getting around 2790-2850

What muzzle energy does the 148gr put out?

with 148 grain boat tail FMJ

lemme check real quick

PPU states 200gr gets about 2109 ft lbs. That's 2859.42 Joules

I’ve been running different ammo actually sorry I’m so used to running PPU

Thats fine. I'm looking to pick up another 200 round case of 200gr match ammo as soon as I have the money.

I want to get into reloading, but I doubt that would sit well with my apartment managers.

2,548 ft pounds with Wolf 148 grain

Beautiful. That is some knock down power right there.

dude for real

It’s a vibe check

And to be fair

I always say that if I ever move to Alaska (which I have considered a lot) it'll be my moose gun.

A 10.3 inch group at 200 yards ain’t too bad for a ‘43 nugget

dude K-98 hunting would be sick

I haven’t accurized it yet

Not bad. I don't have an accurate measurement of distance at the range I go to (a practically unregistered plot of mountainside given to the gun community by local govt.). But I can say that I can consistently hit a Simply Lemonade bottle at around 100 meters.

Provided I can see the bottle.

nice

Man I swear old war guns are just fun to take out and blast stuff ya know?

Definitely. Not only do you get the fun factor, but also the knowledge that your gun participated in historically significant events. And of course, the wow factor that it brings.

Ye

I wanna go hunting with a Tokarev

Dude, if you bag a deer with a Tokarev, I'll give you $50.

Shit I’m down LMAO

My dad: where’s your rifle?

Me: yes

**racks Tokarev**

I mean I bleat squirrels with my rough rider how hard could it be

imma regret those words but I’m still gonna send it lmao
