    300 mtr shoot with my H&R M1 Garand.

    Went to range today to try out some newly aquired Danishicon M2 ammo to compare it with Austrian M2 and my handloads. Both Danish and Austrian ammo shoot to around 10"- 12" at 300 mtrs, nothing to write home about, but it's the cheapest ammo available. Then I tried my hand loads, which are 168 grn SMKs sat on top of 48grns of Viht N140 in a Prvi Partizan case.I was pleasantly surprised at the result, the best group was 12.5 cm, = 4.9". That works out at 1.5 MOA. I was doubly pleased because the bloke next to me did no better with his M1D and the bloke on the other side did no better with his target rifle.
