I wish we had Lapua readily available like the finns do. It's absolutely insane how it's just their military ball ammo there.

2022-02-10 17:07:14 +0000 UTCI actually have a Ljungman as well as a (1903) M-96. I made up another gas plug to be able to shoot longer, heavier bullets in it and took it to a distance range to try it out. I had a load with 139 gn Lapua Scenar that seemed to work ok with the gas system. I first used it on the torso sized/shaped targets (about 40 x 50 cm or 16" x 20") at just under 600m. I fired a full (10 shot) magazine and figured the iron sights were better calibrated for the range when set to 500m and not 600m as I was tending to hit high. After setting the iron sights to 500m, I gave the rifle to my friend to shoot - telling him that it might be a bit low, but basically on. He hit it 5 from 5 - barstard!! Later: That Lapua ammo is awesome - I got some of it to double check my rifle accuracy (Tikka T3x) and it shot rings around my (admittedly not well-tuned) reloads. Openned the box and fired 2 x five shot groups--they were < 0.3 moa and < 0.4 moa.
