TulAmmo 123 grain HP from my brother’s Mini-30

If you miss the flame will get him

WOW!!!

Should hang a couple burger patties down range and have a hot lunch after shooting.

Spicy!

Cool picture!

It was supposed to be a “quick” range trip to sight in the Mini-30, but the gun did not like the heavy bullets my brother picked out. So, it will take a bit more investigation to find a round that is more compatible with that gun. It got “better” groups with some of the random old ammo I had in the bag with my PSA KS-47, but it’s still 2.5-3” groups with ammo that’s no longer on the market.

I may see if my hunting loads work in the -30. Testing continues.

However, with the KS-47, I continue to be impressed with the accuracy it is pulling from just random ammo.
Probably 20 year old “monarch” Complete unknown that was in a ziplock bag The much lamented “silver bear” match ammo that people used to hoard

Mini-30

Yeah that. My dad embarrassed a guy who was sure the m30 was the cats meow. Outshot with an sks and wolf ammo. In a BAD way. The m30 would do 5 MOA groups on a good day.

When I owned a mini 30 the best I ever got was around 3” 100 yard rested groups. That was with some painstaking hand loading to that end.
