I have a Sterling 7.62 conversion which has been reported as shooting 2-5 moa depending on ammo and have also read here that the L8 suffered from similar accuracy problems caused by incorrect barrel harmonics. Also here somewhere is a thread stating that an algorithm or formula existed for the development of a cartridge for experimental rifles, and I have seen a web site (although modern, probably "bench rest") proposing a method for reloading to tune out resonance I think and thus improve harmonics.
If the mathematics existed to model and tune barrel/cartridge harmonics, then why did the L8 project even begin as they must have known that a 303 barrel was not compatible with 7.62 NATO ammo, or was this algorithm/formula just a starting point?.

Also, has anyone else tried reloading to tune out the inaccuracy of one of these conversions?.
I know it can be done by DCRA type bedding but I'm just curious to know if a simple reload wold make the difference.
