Have a 1940 Tula that's been sporterized, barrel at 22 inches, Rock Solid bolt handle & scope mount, Boyds stock, Leupold 3x9 scope.

Don't reload yet, it'll do 1.5 inches at 100 regularly with the surplus stuff I use in it.

The 1943 Izz PU sniper has done a best of three holes in 1 5/16 inches at 100 with Hornady factory stuff.

As long as the surplus stockpile holds up, I won't bother to reload for either rifle, or the '38 Tula in standard configuration, and I wouldn't have any interest in taking one hunting.
