They are a hell of a lot of fun to shoot-- peep sight, old eyes and all!
Look forward to MD/s article.


Sort the Lake City match by runout and the straight stuff may surprise you by how well it shoots. I shot a bunch of LC M852 Match for the "308" out of accurate bolt action rifles and the straight batches rivaled good handloads.

A friend of mine had a batch of banging ammo for his Garand, I believe it was the Greek stuff but I won't swear to it. The powder charges differed enough round to round so the variation could be heard by shaking each round and listening. crazy


cmp sold a ton of the greek hxp so i am sure there is a lot of it floating around.
they sold a bunch a few years ago in the spam cans from the various plants around the country too.
