Nice grain. The conversion chart looks to be in pretty good shape too. I've had two 1900's and still have one. It was my first Swede.

Just my observations ... be careful using PMC because some of it is too HOT for the Swedish Mausers. On more than one rifle, I've experienced tight bolt lift and gases escaping from around the bolt,...

A few years back PMC recalled a lot of ammo because it was too hot.................maybe you have some of that lot. Long live the Swedish Mauser!!

I remember buying my first Swede many years ago and the dealer gave me two boxes of PMC. On the first firing they stretched a tremendous amount and were not reloadable. I later shot other ammo in the...

Quote:Soft brass? Too hot? Both?I'm going to say too hot. I've generally found the brass to be hard. I've never shot new PMC, but reloaded stuff I got in a swapmeet.

i got the gun as a shooter so the end of the barrel being cut off doesn't bother me very much & it was priced about $100 less than the other two m96's that were there. still haven't had a chance...
