Recently my friend Fxntime sent me a note and asked if I would test some 7.62 X 51 Military Ball like we did the 5.56 ammo a while back.

He said he would send me an assortment of ammo to test if I was interested.

I said, Sure.

He sent me 9 different types of 7.62 X 51, mostly military ball.

We were ready to go to the range.

I will be shooting my Accuracy International AE.

When I do my part, this is an exceptionally accurate rifle.

Here are some typical groups, when shooting my best handloads.

Here's the assortment of ammo that I received.

And here's a picture that Tman took to remind you guys that don't get to shoot much, just how far the 100 yard line really is.

The next half hour wasn't very photogenic, but here's what the pile of brass looked like at the end of the shoot.

I cleaned the barrel after each 5 shot group with a wet patch and then a dry patch.

After three groups, I put a wet patch through the barrel, ran a wet brush down it 6 times, wet patched it and then finished with 2 dry patches.

Maybe excessive, but I didn't want fouling to play any part.
