[rec.guns] Accuracy in Military Bolt Actions

JCEHC%CUNYVM.BITNET@mitvma.mit.edu (05/31/91)

    Has anyone ever compiled realistic expectations of accuracy
from military bolt action rifles?  I don't mean sporterized or accurized
Mausers, but straight issue military guns with both issue ball ammo and
hand loads.

    I thought of this because I own very good condition Springfield 03-A3
and shooting Lake City .30-06 ammo at one hundred yards, I can't seem
to make it shoot better than four inch groups.  I know an 03-A3 can do
better than that.
