Green members only, please!
The good news: I'll give you a dozen free bullets! Better yet, I'll give you a dozen free 163-grain .30-cal M2 AP bullets! I'll even pay postage!
The Challenge:
1. You must reload these into any .308" cartridge (.30-06, .308, 7.5x55 Swiss, 7.5x54 French, .300 Savage, and so on)
2. You must shoot 5 of them for a 100 yard group. You can use the others for load development or whatever you want.
3. You must also shoot a 5-round group of your "usual" cartridges as a control group.
4. You must post a pic of your targets on this thread as well as some details of the caliber and powder type used.
The bad news: The bullets are ugly! Most have dented tips, and may have other nicks and dings. They are all .308 diameter and usable, but they're ugly.
For inspiration, read this well-done article on shooting deliberately-damaged bullets.

These are the actual projectiles I'll be mailing out. 12-piece lots will be personally hand-selected by a small child.
Green reloaders, post "IN"...I'll choose 3 random members on Christmas!
(I will do the same challenge with a 4th hand-selected-by-a-child batch of projectiles.)
Merry Christmas!
