What is a Sapper? This versatile genius condenses the whole system of military engineering and all that is useful and practical. He is a man of all work of the Army and the public ready to do anything or go anywhere, in short, he is a Sapper.

Are they boat tail or flat base bullets. If they are boat tail they are probably the same ones some of my buddies tried in there .303 rifles. They were not very impressed with how they performed.

I find they work well in my PU sniper, No.4 Enfield and Type 99 Arisaka.
I don't use Varget so can't help you there.
