[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 1148561, member: 5302"] I find that remarkable. One Captain of the US Army Reserve Team, CWO4 Billy Atkins, told me years ago they tried using fired LC M118 match cases to reload for their M14 match rifles. None of them shot nearly as accurate as new M118 ammo with those having less than .002" runout. Nor as accurate as commercial match ammo. Their case heads were slammed out of square too much against bolt faces that were not squared up. I've never heard from any LC M118 ammo shooting groups that it shot under 1.5 MOA at 600 or 1000 yards in M14's. 10 inches was the best it would do at 600 yards from arsenal test barrels in bolt actions that were more precision than any M14 barrel.
