Egyptian Hakim & FN49

OK, I will try this a third time using Opera. Perhaps Opera won't crash as I try to post this again! Damn Internet Explorer!
What a great autumn day to head to the range.
I took two of my favorite milsurp autoloaders that shoot the 8mm round.
Targets were placed 100 yards away from the shooting bench.
The Hakim was aimed at the lower paper plate on the silhouette, while the FN49 was aimed at the upper paper plate. I had to set the rear sight of the FN to 400 meters to get it to shoot to the point of aim at 100 yards. The Hakim shot to the point of aim straight away!
I was shooting a batch of Ecuadoran 8mm from 1956 that had been exposed to moisture, but every round fired like new ammo.
