I threw these together this afternoon: 250 rounds of 7.62x63mm (30-06) loaded up to USGI match specifications. It's a 175 grain FMJ Spitzer boat tail bullet behind a 58 grain compressed load of Reloader 19 powder, that chronographed at 2650 fps, out of a sporterized WW1-era P-1917 Enfield. These rounds through that rifle consistently shoots 1" groups at 100 yards from a sandbag rest, and 4" groups at 400 yards. Probably could do better with a newer rifle, as this one has some erosion in the throat. Good enough for picking off Chinese invaders if the shit hits the fan.
