I want to see which milsurp my trusty Cetme prefers...will run MOA tests at 100-yds.

I have batches of Indian, South African, and Portugese...am not sure about Aussi. What headstamp does the Aussi have? Will check at the Atlanta gunshow tomorrow...

To date I've gotten 2.5 MOA out of the South African...then fired 5 rounds of 1997 Indian a buddy gave me...got a neat, 1 moa single ragged hole about four inches above the South African center! That's not supposed to happen...:confused:

Sounds good! I was only able to pick up one bandolier of Aussi headmarked "F4 MF 83" at the Atlanta GunShow...they had already sold out of battle packs and cases, and I got one of the last two bandoliers. There were no other dealers of .308 milsurp at the large gunshow...! Their Portugese and South African was going fast also.

I plan to fire 5 round groups for accuracy...will post the results next week.

Expect 5-round groups to average about 30% bigger than 3-round. At least in the .30 calibers.

Anyone see stats data like this on other calibers?
