Your Preferred Bullet Weights out of a M91/30 PU Sniper

[bob q]

I ran military rifle matches at my range for years . There were a couple of guys who ran overloads in their rifles . The results were : M-96 cracked lug , M-48 one lug broke off and jammed the action , M-96 one lug fell off when the bolt was removed , Enfield bolt bent . Also nobody would ever buy a used rifle from those guys .

I just got back from a trip . When time permits I will look through the 500 page reloading manual I wrote and my data sheets for your requests .

The best way to formulate what recipe your rifle likes is a ladder test they are a piece of cake to do you then can fine tune the powder weight to tighten the group even more.
I do a 2 stage one for my F class is a powder one then do a jump ladder test.
I do the jump one the same format as the powder 1 shot of each jump at its nominated bulls eye allowing cool down between shots usually around 90 seconds so 1 shot at 10 jam wait 1 shot at 30 jump wait 1 shot 70 jump for 3 shots/target, then cool the barrel right off then repeat.
(See pic for Berger 140VLD from my 6.5/284 at 100m you'll see what jump groups the best)
