Well, I went out yesterday to shoot some and decided to take my mosin with me. I know that it had shot high before but i had assumed that at farther distances it would drop back to the correct spot. My brother and I were just shooting for fun so he picked a rock, for me to shoot at. I would say the rock was around 400-500 yards up a very steep inclined hill.
On the first shot im thinking maybe a few feet high, hold there, bullet hits at least 20 feet high of the rock. I figured it must have been me, so I aimed right at the rock, still very high. The next shot I said well lets just see, So I aimed around 20 feet low and HIT IT!!!!
I just do not understand how this could be happening. all of these numbers are approximate but I would say theyre not off by more than 10%.
I was shooting silver bear, non corrosive steel cased,berdan primed, 203 grain spire point type bullets, out of the longer barreled vesion, I dont know exactly how long the barrel it but its pretty long.
Oh and by the way the back sight is indeed al the way down, and not adjusted up even the first notch. If anybody could give me a remedy or an explanation for this, it would be very much appreciated.
