Where does .318 come from, the early Mauser '88 bore? The Argentine Mauser was 7.65 (M1891) or 7.92. Anyway, my point still holds. No .308 in even a .318 bore is going to produce anything that could be called "accuracy" by a Leicaphile. Besides, what the heck are you shooting at 300 yards? Revenooers? And forgive my thoughtless jape re your correspondence, which stands well enough on its own merits. Best regards (from slightly more than 300 yards), Robert <Aithnionn ciarog ciarog eile!>
