More 8X56R stuff- slugged the bore, target scan
Well for those who thought I might be shooting undersized bullets, give them a cigar! I slugged the bore which mic'ed out to .3315, and then measured some of the Nazi surplus which measures .3275. Just another reason why the .323 is unlikely to work well at all. I found a place with a .330 mould though I suspect that before resizing this will cast .332 or .331, which would suit me just perfectly. Here is a scan of my first target with the gun. Two shots are off to the side, they didn't fit my scanner, and one missed completely. The majority of shots fall in a six inch "group" but the overll size is a disheartening 12".

Then people will keep clear of you..." -Admiral of the Fleet Lord Fisher, speaking at the Hague Peace Conference in 1899.[This message has been edited by jonk (edited 02-08-2002).]
