These were not good examples of cast boolits. They were sized .314 to crimp the gas check, the load was 16gr of 2400. The rifle was an 03 A3 made of mostly Remington parts except the receiver which is a Santa Fe.
I shot ten shots offhand, at 100 yards, and the group was 9.0".
The wind was pretty strong and highly variable. It blew me around quite a bit.
The 1903 A3 is easier to shoot than my other milsurps. The sights are better and so is the trigger. The sling is better too.
I'll shoot more and try to remember how to shoot. It's been a while for offhand.
There is a match coming up, I'm hoping these light boolits do well at 200 yards. If not I'll go heavier.
No key-holes were evident, so that's good.
Like the wise man said...."pour yourself a hot one".
