NOE's 311291 In The 30-06....WOW !!

[guicksylver]

Hi guys....Dan here with the third installment on the NOE 311291 trials..

This time the platform was my 1919 1903 Rock Island Springfield with a Lyman 24x LWBR scope..and before you collectors start screaming (moaning anyways) ..I got this rifle as a botched up sporter..it had been T&D for a scope and shoved into an after market stock..beded with wood putty..needless to say the previous owner never got to shoot it...it does sport a pristine High Standard 4 grove barrel...I've sliped it into a nice period "C" stock ..inspected twice by Daniel A Leary...I've also added all the rest of the correct fun stuff..original hardware etc...

Here's a picture of it..

As I said this is the third and last instalment on my retesting of the 311291 design..this bullet cast from a NOE (Night Owl Enterprise) mold has proven to be an outstanding performer..period..

Here are the groups I got out of it using the above mentioned platform...

Perhaps I should explain the "Bad Bullet".. I had WRONGLY used a charged case to check the AOL ..the bullet pulled from the case leaving the gas check in the case when I tried to extract it,so I reseated the bullet slightly deeper than the others..obviously I created a load with it's own mind..

That is about what I would expect from that bullet with a proper load. I used it in a .308 in a Rem 700 bdl. years ago and shot a sub 1 inch 40 (yes 40) shot group off sandbags at 100 yards. That design can be exceptionally accurate with the right rifle and load.
