[QUOTE="Wrenches, post: 2322519, member: 93135"] M2 ball is not or ever was the standard 30-06 service round. I was invented in 1939 as training ammo because the M1 ball in service that the M1 was developed for (173 grain) was overshooting the berms at National Guard bases. Standard issue WW II and Korea was M2 Armor piercing at 163 grains. National Match ammo (M72) used this M1 ball bullet until the 7.62X51 took over, but still using the 173 grain bullet in the M118 NM loading. [/QUOTE]
