April 2014 Vintage Military Rifle Match Results

We had nice weather today, and some new and old faces.  Welcome to Andy and welcom back to Art.  Rifle of the month was "Cold War Soviet" and was represented by 5 sks rifles, three 1950's russian and two yugo 59/66's. I shot my russian sks and then my Yugo sks, interestingly they shot almost the exact same score.  I've slugged them both and they both slug .312, I've been playing with some 150 SST .312 bullets with 5744 powder, and the russian shot a 99-5V which is pretty outstanding for an sks.  Since those are longer than mag length I used yugo ball for the rapids. Congrats to Bob with a great score and the match winner.  It was great to see all the sks's on the line.

   Here are the results:

Bob Etzkorn M1 384-21V 1st
