Thank you John, Chamois.
I'm playing with a pre 64 M70 308 that is showing more accuracy than I'll be able to exact. Groups fire forming revealed solid potential. With Barnes 130 TTSX and H4895 initial groups of sub .600 are printed before tweaking for COAL or finessing with half grain loads. To say I'm ecstatic with the M70 is an understatement.
Loads on Euro sites read:
COAL 2.87"
44-46gr N140
Lapua Scenar 155-L
Fed 210M primers and
Lapua brass.
For brass I have some W-W, Hornady, Hornady Match and Nosler. The game is to see how accurate the pre 64 M70 factory rifles could be with modern bullets like the 155-L and powders designed specifically for the 7.62x51 NATO like the N140 for this over the hill, wanna-be rifleman.
Cheers!
