well I'm getting range time in again,Saturday was the first time I fired a firearm since around February.
I ordered a s***load of Greek ammo from the CMP for my Garands,M1917 and M1903.On various boards I had read the Greek ammo was good stuff,and proper M2 ammo as to not damage the older rifles.
Well Saturday I tried it,I couldn't even get a somewhat consistant group with it,it was like a shotgun pattern.Now I had used 165gr commercial ammo before and always got decent groups with it though I used it sparingly since commercial ammo has the potential to damage a Garand.The photo with the 8 shot group at 10 o' clock was the 165gr win ammo,the little papers dotted are the Greek hits covered,so I knew it must be the Greek stuff that was just giving bad groups.
But today I tried the Greek HXP and the 2 targets in the photo with my Garand is what the Greek ammo did today,I'm feeling better about the Greek ammo now.I don't know if my groups photoed here are typical of Greek,better than average or worse than average,anybody with experience with it please give me a clue.At least I'm hitting 9's and 10's with it now.
BTW,the recomendation that I use SR-1 targets was very helpful thanks for that.
