Best Keyholing I've ever seen
I'm a range safety officer at one of the local ranges. Yesterday a young gentleman approached me concerned about his Enfield No. 4 Mk I. He wanted to know if something was wrong with his rifle and why his bullets were hitting the target sideways. He was shooting at 50 yards.
I couldn't help but start laughing when I looked through the spotting scope and saw how perfect the hols were and the sear number of them. While I have seen keyholing before, I have never seen so many on one target with perfect outlines like this, you can even see the boat-tail. I told him that it was more than likely his ammo and as it turned out he was shooting that garbage Russian
Wolf Ammo. Once he tried some PPU everything was fine.

Make better keyholes!
How about this one? You can even see the grease grooves.

Still on the target, though! Think of the carnage that would cause if it hit a man at 50 yds. Perish the thought.

That's was the conversation for the next 30 minute on what a sideways hit would do to a man and a pig.

I tried one box of the Wolf. After about half the box the rest went into my junk ammo bin.
