besides hearing the obvious noise a gun makes when shot, why would someone shoot a pistol cartridege thru a rifle, especially one so cheap to shoot? nothing a pistol cartridege shot thru a rifle does replicates the rifles capabilites. and why would you go to a range to do this? accuracy has to be questionable, the cost of ammo is higher, you have essentially made a repeating rifle into a single shot. don't get me wrong, i like my toys too, and i do see the fun factor but when mosin ammo is so cheap i wouldn't bother with the extra expense.
