2019年12月28日 · The m1 bullet was 172-3 and was replaced by the m2 150 gr bullet for weight savings on the soldier and shipping however the m1 was still retained for belted machine guns and sniper use as it did in fact fly farther for the machine guns and shoot better for snipers. Nm 06 Ammo was always loaded with 172/3 grain bullets and is fine for the garand.

2024年3月13日 · My furthest shot with the HMR on a prairie dog was 283 yards. But since the bullet drops below sonic velocity the effect was significantly less than when the bullet is still super sonic. Neither the HMR or the Mach2 is going to have the same affect on a ground hog as if you shot it with a high velocity 223 varmint bullet.

2021年9月20日 · Since We discussed the significance of 1 kernel of powder, My thoughts went to weight difference in sorting bullets. I just finished sorting 500 bullets that I wouldn’t have bought, except for the shortage. Except for light and heavy outliers, the majority fell within .5 …

2019年9月21日 · So Ive got 30 carbine that I think might make a sweet farmyard problem solver. But I cant decide what bullet would give the best terminal performance on racoons to the hopefully never happens case of a large dog. Ive got a supply of half jackets, Ive also got 110gr sierra hp although Ive never tried them for reliability.

2017年6月19日 · The M118 match ammo was based on an 173 grain boat tail bullet. Also, I do not think the AP bullet was "the vast majority of ammo shot in combat and what became standard issue post WW2.." The M1 port pressure was designed around the IMR 4895 bun rate. Also, as you say, the port pressure is the important point, not the bullet weight.

2025年2月22日 · Jeremy Cheek and I performed this testing at the laboratory. We utilized many of his M1 and M2 lots, dating all the way back to...1927! He freely donated this ammunition, so that others might be able to better understand the TRUTH of the M1 Garand, ammunition loaded and certified for the weapon (over many years), as well as modern day alternatives.

2014年12月30日 · I have a bolt action rifle in blackout. My kids use this gun shooting super sonic rounds for deer. I have it zero'd at 100 yards with that load/bullet combo. I want this to be my "ZERO POINT". I use a 2.5-10 Leupold mark4 with M2 turrets (1/2" clicks so …

2018年5月13日 · It's not just the speed the bullet starts out at from the muzzle. The point about banded speeds is to get the BC over the whole flight as the bullet slows. So, in a 1,000 yard distance shot all of the different BCs come into play typically. Sierra's own Infinity ballistics program automatically changes the BC over distance / dropping residual ...

2018年4月18日 · Low serial (jacked up heat treat) Springfield 1903. Bolt is a loose M2 from a Springfield M22. To make it work, a custom insert is machined to fit in the magazine well and fit the mag catch. The barrel is a 16 twist Douglas chambered with a match reamer. Stock is a Minelli with a custom made top side, milspec hardware.

2020年6月9日 · With a 5 1/2 lb rifle 110 grain projectiles slows accurate follow up so while I love the M1 and M2 30 Carbine for close work (200 yards-) it's best when modernized with a new stock to weigh about 8 lbs.
