So are we saying the A3 sight is calibrated for essentially 150 gr. flat base moving at say 2740 fps. ?

Any chance the M1 is a more accurate or effective spec? (Idea here being to pick a spec to handload to that will work with the sights, but be effective for hunting if I ever use the rifle for that.)
