A Springfield 1903 woods rifle

[Trooper224]

That could also be due to the quality of the bullet. FMJ bullets don't typically shoot all that well.

My 1903 shoots the 155 Berger well. I can repeatedly hit a steel buffalo at 1130 yards with that load. It's a big target but I'm a bit handicapped with the metallic sights.

That's quite possible.

Shot a couple 3 shot 1moa groups with 150gr Hornady sp last time out with the A4. Little bigger with 165 gamekings but they were 5 shot groups.

Out on a picnic with the sporter today

Not as dark as I'd like

Sorry-not-sorry for the repost, that is a drop-dead gorgeous rifle.

I came ever soooo close to an 03 one time, I just couldn't afford both the rifle and the remaining cost of gas from Tennessee to Louisiana. Would a Mausingfield sitting in a mini-chassis with AI-pattern mags, done up a similar way be halal or haram?

There's the Hornady Vintage Match 168gr ELDM load. It appears specced for Garands, but it might be worthwhile in an '03? I have had good experiences with the equivalent .308 load.
