A quick comparison of different bullets/ammo

I had pretty good results with 4064 and 168s in 30-06 with my M1.
I think Varget and 4895 were still superior for me. I've only shot a K31 once and did not have much luck.
 
Damn that's good shootin with the carbine! I'll have to put mine on paper again. Last time I did (just off a sandbag), my groups were significantly larger! I'm also using the same load with the same bullets.
It’s a decent carbine less than 2&2 on MW/TE trigger has a nice feel vs most and is around 5lbs
I replaced the recoil plate and also gave it a smack to squish it down a little to get 1/4 draw on the barrel.

Varget does it for me too for accuracy in 5.56 w/69gr Barnes HPBT match @.398" and 308 w/168gr Match Monster @ .565" both at 100 yds.

Have you tried the PPU 174 gn soft points ? They are in stock at TSUSA thinking of grabbing some just for the brass
 
If you are into trying different propellants for 5.56, give Win 748 a try. Meters like water, easily shoots under 3" groups at 300 yards using Hornady bulk 55 grain FMJ-BTs (at least with not too much wind). Rifle is M4 clone with 1-4x scope and, from memory, 9" twist.
 
UP Next a 1913 M96 Swedish Mauser 6.5x55
Im going to start with some factory PPU 139gn SP,BT to empty some brass. The bore is not pristene. I did a deep cleaning and it has frosting and pitting. we will see How this does.

Above groups L to Right 25 yards , 10 shots , bipod as fast as I could get the + on the dot CCI , Golden Eagle target and Tenex.

Snuck out with the 16” tacsol upper,
Had to get some velocity so I can really dial it in better for 200 yards.
Anyway a bit shocked at some of my test results. Although was happy to some decent consistency with even the cheapest ammo I tested.
Any how all shot ok and I tested at 25 yards.
Tacsol upper on RRA NM lower
Bushnell AR22 scope on 7X .
The scope lives on 7x and I wanted to get idea if the reticles subtensions. Plus get a rough 100 yard , the sin wad brutal heres 10 rounds in about 25 second with rhe CCI prints a bit high but thats ok. ATTACH=full]409265[/ATTACH]
