ugaarguy, I don't know that I can agree with you on the quality of M193 ball. From what I understand it is only mean to be a 2 MOA performer. I know that I had, at one time, pulled a bunch of bullets from some LC stuff that I had. I got variances in bullet weight, length (when measured from the ogive) and variances in powder charges. I don't know that I'd call them big, but if my handloads were put together like that they would have wound up in the reject bin.
All of that aside, I've NEVER been able to shoot consecutive MOA groups with M193 out of any of my rifles. I say consecutive because luck does strike once in a while and it does happen, but not with any consistency.
If you get a chance, try pulling some bullets and do a comparison and see what you think.
