    Second pic along post #29 is the surplus I've used in the past, one example is a Enfield with a L42 barrel fitted and a PH sight, even with me behind the trigger I was punching the paper and making clover leaf,s at 100mtrs, a few were just in the same hole.......... considering the price at the time and compared to the other lads with expensive rifles with all singing and dancing telecope, plus the reloads they where using which were the result of many hours of expense regarding the amount of different powders and bullet weights etc....... it certainly brought a smile to my face, as their targets weren't what they quite expected, I should of framed mine...

    The cheapest I've seen it recently was about £47 a 100, it was when I was searching for 7.62 x 39, which has doubled in price.......

    That sounds great - to make pictures was possible, I hope ? A special equipment.. An Enfield with an L 42 barrel fitted and a PH Sight. Yes, the DNAG ammo shows often a really good performance.

    In the meantime I found a picture of this .303 Britishicon-Ammo from MEN. Here:

    Hello

    Thank you. Especially to Bruce von Oz for quite informative and quick response (s).

    There are simply a number of hints for the use of .308 Win. 168 grain Match ammunition. Especially the Federal "Gold Medal" Label. This is an example of my "ambiguous" view.

    And here in Switzerlandicon there is only a few 7.62 mm NATO ammunition types available. Since many years, this ammo is not as important for Military Repeaters as it is in other countries. Not enough to have a real choice. So I certainly cannot check out the accuracy potential of my rifle. As a Non-Reloader, by the way...

    General complaints: Did a typical problematic problem arise when using a unsuitable .308 Win.-ammo? Was there a characteristic sign on a case, for example ?

    A .308 Win.-Lapua load has been heard to pose a serious problem, years ago. What type of load was that, please ? Asked because of the relevance of the Lapua ammo-Products here.

    Thank you.

    Best regards
    Enfield Enforcer
