.303 Brit cast bullet data.

#1 Post by Sim G »

Anyone got any cast bullet data for .303, running below 1050 fps with a 170 to 180gn bullet? Closest I can find is around 1300fps which is still too fast.
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

I like .303, why can't a newbie (to this forum, not the world or shooting) view? It is data, not sales (although I dont know what the hassle is with viewing for sale items either).
I could always pop along to Brancepeth or Birtley and ask in person but...why?
