[eclancy]

Gentlemen,
...At this point in time I would think that SA is ready to attack US Ordnance. Files like this one are all in this time frame. Build the .30 Cal YES. Then an Order NO .30 Cal go to the .276 Cal. What about a .256 Cal. I don't know what do you think? How about a .276 Cal. and maybe then a .256 Cal. But keep working on the .30 Cal. What type of load for the ,276 Cal.? 140gr @ 2600fps. What if we go to the .256 cal. use the same 140gr @2600fps. Does someone have any idea about the .30 cal rounds. Don't look at me I just work here. That Gentlemen is what the files read like take about weird???
Have fun

By this time .270 Winchester was in production. Was this the round that they were spec'ing, or another new round? These memos are neat. It's interesting to see how/why/ and what was developed into small arms by the .gov.

Gentlemen,
That's what the books are made up from. All the Ordnance files starting in 1920 on the M1 Garand Rifle.
Thanks again
