Has anyone managed a 1000 yard shot with a Mosin?

[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 979840, member: 48559"] Did the gentleman at the store suggest what the group size might be at that range? Can you lob a bullet a thousand yards with the Mosin? Sure can. I would want a very generous sized target waiting out there. Accounts from WW2 Eastern Front suggest the old warhorse in its sniper configuration was basically a 2 to 3 minute rig, and most recorded shots by Sov snipers were within 400 meters. They used a 3.5 power optic which wasn't know for its clarity either. For a thousand yards, I would want the target to be about 6x6 feet, and a modern scope, to have any chance at connecting. The basic round should have ballistics just a bit shy of factory 30-06 with the same bullet shape. [/QUOTE]
