ah ha Paul, how many yards with that 3/8s group? I get 8
inch groups with a Mauser 98 in .308 with 240 gr. match kings. I use a amount of H335, the barrel only has 2 groove
rifling, not accurate, its about 800 yrds to target 55 gal
drum, its supprising the damage this bullet can do at long range, can bust a cinder block at this range.
