L42/Enforcer Ammunication

[bigduke6]

The interesting thing about these Envoys/L39/L42 rifles is how well they shoot decent lots of green and black sport 7.62 NATO, or (so I am told) better lots of German DM 41 or Austrian Patronen 58 cartridges. The Austrians used the Patronen 58 in their SSG 69 to good effect out to 700 M, or so I am told. Both are on the market now in the US of A. A lot of people assume that the last set of 7.62 innovations were game changers, they were not. The old arms with the ammunition they were designed for are capable of fine performance, unless you are doing some serious competition, where the small advantages in velocity consistency, bullet quality will have a cumulative effect. The fun of shooting these old war horses is getting the best performance out of them in the period correct method.

That does rap it up nicely, I've had excellent results in the past with the German Surplus 7.62, which to me has the edge on RG surplus, although being a reloader always tried to match bullet weight etc to the original spec, Vhitavori N140 was my choice of powder as it covered a wide range of calibre's etc.
