under the right conditions (i.e. honest verification by third parties), I would be quite happy to place my own 500 bucks cash down anytime against 100 bucks from anyone who thinks they can sit down and get an HONEST NO BS 2MOA (i.e. 2 inch group or LESS) with two consecutive full clips (8 shots) of ANY USGI LC M2 Ball ammunition ever made off any rest they like from a STOCK M1icon Garand. The dial caliper never lies and virtually ALWAYS disappoints.

The military accpatance standard for M2 ball (best I can recall) was about FOUR (4) MOA (or less) from a TEST BARREL FIXTURE. Even hand-loaded into carefully prepped cases with weighed charges, M2 heads still stink and constiture a waste of powder and primers.
