Well today I had a chance at a little range trip. Short but productive.
I did some accuracy testing on my M1 and I also got a chance to sling some cast loads from the No.4 Mk.II
The No.4 was nothing more than a "what powder I wont be using" test. Not a much of anything to write about.
Although the M1 did pretty well. I used the "targeting diagram" drawing D7266850
The short of it a overhauled M1 is good enough for GI if it puts 5 consectutive shots with in the heavy outlined rectangle and those 5 shots are 1.77" or less group @ 1000" (inches)
Front sight centered, rear windage centered, elevation up 8 clicks from bottom. Target is at 1000" INCHES or 83'4". I measured it out the best I could.
2+' of snow gusty wind and cold about 10'F this morning. I shot the 1st 8 rounds 1972HXP same stuff I been testing with for a while now.
Im happt to say this rifle passed easily 8 shots in there.
The manual says to take 3 warm up shots then the 5 shot group. I just dumped the 8 rounds.
How do you get bigger pictures ?
Moved out to 50 and was getting solid 2.5" groups. I was shooting from a rifle rest.
