M28/30 ammo question - I can’t figure this out
Posted: Thu Apr 04, 2024 3:23 am
I finally added an M28/30 to my collection. I just have absolutely zero understanding of ammo choices. Reading this forum and Gunboards I get even more confused and have read the following:
All were bored to 308.
Some were reamed out to 311 by using commie ammo during the war
Shooting 311 in a 308 bore is ok
Shooting 311 in a 308 bore is not ok
Sometimes they are 310 bores
It is a 1940 SKY in great condition but who knows what’s been shot through it in 84 years.
I will slug the barrel but is there a standard to follow with this rifle? I do reload so I just need to know what bullets to buy and would prefer to avoid slugging if I have the chance as I don’t want lead in the bore.
Thanks!
