I have a Yugo 24/47 that I have begun casting for. The bore slugged to .324 at its largest measurement. I have been casting straight wheel-weight and dropping them from the mold into cold water. They are a 170 grain gas check bullet sized to .325.
My load is 17 grains of 2400 which is comfortable. With 16 grains I had a few cases that didn't expand fully to seal the chamber. With 17 it is not an issue. My 100 yard accuracy with the stock Mauser pointy sights is 3". Should I be expecting better than this with Mauser open sights, or is this about as good as I can expect?
It may be the eyes as well, since the 50th birthday came and went a month ago and the reading glasses seem a might less powerful than they did a couple years ago.
