What got me while shooting this ammo was accuracy. I was firing my IAI Automag III in .30 caliber Carbine pistol at 10 yards/ 3 inch dots. Practicing position 3-4, single shot, controlled pairs and double taps. Here is an example of what was shot doing controlled pairs.
All shot groups pretty much mirrored this. Be it double taps, single shot or as shown here controlled pairs. Now I'm not the greatest shot but I know that I could do better. I wanted to see if it was the ammo.
I made a square out of 2x2 pasters and shot 6 rounds USGI .30 carbine, controlled pairs at 10 yards. Below are the results.
A LOT BETTER. Some years ago I was able to get some Soviet match ammo (7.64x54R) and put it through a Nagant sniper. I was not impressed with the grouping. so I had to play around. One of the schools i have attended taught me that you can take the components of 54 Rimmed and put it into .308 shell and get pretty good results. So I tried this. I went down to a little better than 1 MOA out of the US gun. Then I tried it in reverse. 308 on a 54R cartridge (.30 cal BTHP)(Yes I do have the dies.) resulted in a little over 1 MOA with the Nagant sniper. This got me going so I reloaded some Norma brass that I had in 7.62x54R with the match ammo and then the brass itself. with the norma I shot sub minute and the actual brass went to 1 minutes.
Don't get me wrong if you want to do a lot of shooting and want to focus on procedure Ie position 1-4, clearing jams, double action 3-4, or anything else and precision is not a must than wolf ammo is the bullet for you. However if precision is what is needed buy American!
