Re: mosin nagant...what a bang for your buck!

Wonderful pic.

I gave one to my father in law for father's day. He carries it in his ranch truck. He has a 6th generation working cattle ranch outside of Mullins

I witnessed a new use for the surplus 180 gr stuff with him. He was installing an underground tank for fuel storage with a backhoe on one his back sections, and ran into a large bedrock he couldn't get a grip on with the bucket......he shot it with 5 rounds of the yellow tipped surplus ammo and chipped it enough to get a bite of it with the backhoe bucket.......5 shots shattered a hole as large as a basketball, a couple of feet deep in solid limestone.

Not much of a need for that here in downtown Austin, but still impressive.
