Ok, JA wins... :banghead:
Try some handloads with 7.9mm bullets and you will be surprised how much smaller you groups will be. I tried 7.82mm bullets that resulted in 100-150mm groups depending on bullet design and weight. Also 7.87mm bullets that were better with 76mm groups.
Those are just regular Ulyanovsk/Tula/Barnaul/Wolf etc steel jacketed bullets-nothing special. I just snagged 1000 of their 62gr .224" for about $30.maybe the Russian surplus ones through Widener's?
JA, now I'll have to measure the bullets on that chinese steel core that you helped me identify on gunsnet a year or so back. I haven't shot any of it for accuracy yet.The Chinese steel core ammo with .311" bullet was the only factory ammo to do better than the Lapua.
I purchased a SAIGA 308-1. There was no owners manual with it. Does anyone know where I might get one? If someone could copy theirs into a e-mail form that would be great.
Tks,
