k98k won't close on cartrideg.

Factory sighting is useally dead on.....as evidenced by a staked front sight.

I wouldnt be too concerned about shooting to the left or right until you are sandbagged up and very familiar with the gun and its trigger pull.

Doesnt take much of a flinch @ 1hundy to pull significantly left or right on the paper.

And even then ammo could be the issue....guns like what they like ...despite all things being equal.

(2) k98 byf 43 and (1) box of M75 ammo can/ will = drastically different results.

If you are not going to shoot it a lot I wouldnt worry about accuracy because it can take awhile to find a diet it likes.

Enjoy your new gun...congrats on what sounds like a great find.

thanks agal. I kind of thought that but was more curious than anything. I shoot a lot of target so the question just occurred to me. I have no intention to try to dial it in but just curious what you would do in the event it had a significant bias left or right.

Bought several SPAM cans of what I thought was Romanian mil surplus 8mm Mauser. I hope it isn't this stuff! Did yours come in a SPAM can? How was it (or the packaging) marked? Thanks!

Thanks Jack. Maybe my posts were overlooked?

Read the thread.....The Romanian 150grn stuff that came in spam cans and crates is good to go. The stuff sold by sportsmans guide is junk.

I did not overlook them but did not have different ammo in hand at the time. I do now. As I stated, this incompatible ammo issue is new to me so I sure did not think it could have been the case but was anxious to try different ammo as soon as I got it in.
