.303 Mk 7 ball accuracy requirement

[Surpmil]

Pity Tony E. isn't here to answer that, but this is a sample of what the Textbook of Small Arms 1929 has in 20 pages of detail on the whole process.

One thing is obvious: these standards were not enforced well in WWI as there is no way the rubbish that some soldiers report in their memoirs could have passed the tests described.

It would be interesting to compare the 1909 T.of S.A. and the differences in how the subject is treated. Possibly lessons were learned in WWI, since there seem to have been far fewer problems with poor ammunition in WWII.
