Back in ‘98, I was fortunate enough to acquire some nice Lake City black tip for my Garand while it was still available. Be nsaving it for that rainy day. Also bought a bunch of 7.62 AP pulls so that I could roll my own for the FAL in 308.

In my tests, that AP punched through 3/8” steel girder like it wasn’t even there.

I get 1” or better groups with the greek and danish surplus...from my 2 garands, my ‘03a3, and my sons Belgium BAR (you know the sporter not the military or the semi auto replica).

I pull the 150gr FMJ bullets and make hunting loads by replacing them with 150 gr winchester power points and these also give 1” groups.....last year my son shot his big doe at 100yds with a Danish surplus with power point bullet in his BAR.

I have some lake city left, but for the difference in price I love the greek and danish....
