Attention New Members and those new registering!
We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

A 7.62x25 to 7.62X54R chamber adapter, where I can fire the even cheaper X25 pistol ammo in my Mosins. My buddy who belongs to the private range where I can shoot for free (As long as HE can shoot my reload for free) canceled out on me 2 weks in a row. Today we was all set to go, it's gonna be pouring rain all day.


WOE IS ME. I wanna play wit my new toy! :-(

Results are in, and they suck!

Fired 5 7.62X54R to warm up the barrel and see where they were grouping. Then put in the adapter and fired a 7.62X25. Elevation was OK, but it hit about 2 inches to the left at 50 yards. Ejected the adapter and tried to get the empty case out. Wasn't gonna happen. Took a screwdriver used as a punch to get the empty out of the adapter. Looked at the case, neck was bulged out and the neck cracked on 2 places about 180 degrees apart. Figured I have seen this once in a while shooting the stuff out of my pistol. Loaded up another one, Same thing. Ditto the third time.

So, in my own humble opinion, these are all a POS! At least with the .32 adapter the cases come right out just by turning the adapter upside down. Slide right out
