My Mosin has always been minute-of-head-sized-rock accurate.
On paper, with some motivation and patience, it showed reasonable "hunting" accuracy with handloads.
But, even being post-war production and with a pretty good looking bore, it slugged at 0.315".
Standard bullet diameters cannot be expected to shoot perfectly.
...But, then again, it also has a 0.304" bore diameter. As such, there's plenty of depth for engraving bullets and even .308" projectiles are as accurate as anything else.
Key-holing Mosin... I'd suspect a bad counter-bore.
Just one kind of ammo... Don't use that ammo.
