1903 Springfield with cast
I had my "1903 Springfield" rifle out to the range the the other day. This rifle is a Rock Island Arsenal with a WWII High Standard barrel on it.
I was shooting bullets cast from wheel weight metal. Lyman mold #311284, 223 grains was used. Bullets were water dropped from the mold and were sized .311". Hornady gas checks were used, the bullet lube was a "home brewed" mixture. 16 grains of Alliant 2400 powder were used, in Winchester cases and Winchester large rifle primers.

Group was fired at 100 yards. As you can see from the patches the previous group was bigger. While I've heard some complaints about the sights on the 1903 Springfield, I find them to be pretty decent.
