I don't see much difference between it and my Lake City ammo. We also hand it out at our local Garand matches and the scores are comparable to their usa made couter parts. It just seems a bit more dirty upon clean up.

JJ, I can't really tell because my shooting skills leave a bit to be desired and all Iv'e been shooting in 30-06 is milsurp. I am really curious if handloads would improve my Garand shooting though for sure. I can say in my Rem 700 ammo is the diff between all of them going in the same hole or shooting a 3" group.

I think you will see varing results from one lot to anothe. I have some HXP 1962 that is junk. Loose bullets, bullets not seated straight, varying loads of powder. I only use it when seating a stock after the action has been removed and reinstalled.
On thing I do which does help with any Greek ammo is I weigh each rd. 396-400 gr, are my shooters. I then roll each rd on a flat surface looking for bullets that arent seated straight and also cull them. Any heavier and lighter rds goes into a bag for sighters.
JAS told me about this and it does help

I have some clipped Greek. Lot HXP 4047-72. One of my M1D's does not like it. The de-linked LC ammo from a while back shoots better. I still need to try it in my other Garands.

Well at least the greek cycles the actions dependably. LC is hit or miss on rifles.

This was My experience with LC as well,but I do love the Brass for reloading(ONCE YOU REMOVE PRIMER CRIMP).

I've seen HXP used to shoot in the low 280's.

It's kind of a pain to remove the crimp, one more step, but the stuff is fine for reloading.

seems to shoot pretty well out of my garand its better than minute of human at 100 yds and minute of human is what the rifle was designed to be. I think too many people get too into Military weapons and potential accuracy and when it doesnt happen call the weapon a piece of shit. Can a garand be tweaked to shoot very well yes they can but as long as the rifle will constantly hit a human size target out to 500 yds it is doing what it is designed to do.

I shot this group today
100yds
front rest bench
1969 HXP, 8rds
2 " group
To bad it wasnt centered I could have been a contender for Shuffs Postal Match

That is a good group. If mine would do that with Greek ammo I would be happy.

The Garand I used was a $295.00 Woodless Dane Rack Grade I bought a few years ago, handpicked from the North Store. MW2-TW3 VAR barrel. Was the first rifle I sent to Shuff to have refinished when he was first getting started in the business. Always was a good shooter
