M1917 ideal bullet

[Enfield Enforcer]

Hello,

I'm studying the different types of .30-06 ammo in a barrel with at least 24 inch. Which muzzle-velocities did you reach with all your different cartridges, factory-ammo and handloads ? Especially in 168 grs Match-Ammo and all heavy loads from 168-190 grs ? What is the maximum shooting distance with such ammo ?.. .

Many thanks.

Don't waste your time reinventing the wheel. It's all back there in old posts. My Eddystone works excellently (2MOA off a rest @100, 1MOA with scope) with 48gn N140 driving 168gn Sierra MatchKings set 0.5 mm off the lands. Chrony'ed at 2750 fps.

I even posted a chart of the group size variation with load. That took a lot of ammo. It's all in there somewhere, get digging. Try the keyword "Eddy":

Thank you, Patrick. 838 m/s or 2'750 ft/s with the 168 grs SMK and the 1 MOA: that is an interesting information.

I have searched - of course before I answered first to that thread - but i coudn't find what I've been looking for. 4-5 infos for each of these two bullet weights would be great. Yes, i can't spend here too much time. And I'm not a Reloader - yet. I will have a - new - look into this data later.

Have all a good evening !
