I have an M28/30 Civil Guards rifle and an M39 which is fitted with a Russian PU scope. Firing handloads with the .309 diameter, 185 grain Lapua D46 bullet, assembled in Norma cases with 44 grains of RL15 accuracy is amazing, fully equal to my Winchester Model 70 Target .30-'06 or Type II accurized Garand back to 600 yards.
