I have a stock of WWII armor piercing (laid down in 1944, and unlike the US ammunition, does not have a black tip), but I try to use Federal hunting ammunition at the range. The local steel target provider doesnt want me to use armor piercing rounds on his targets.

Is your Federal ammo miking out at .308 or .311? In the past all American stuff was spec. at .308 and was crap in a .311 barrel.

Old surplus stuff I have found in the past was headspaced for machineguns and blew the necks. Norma 150's worked perfect.
