Big Red
Shooter
I was digging around in the shed looking for some car parts & found an box of WWII machine gun ammo I bought well over 20 years ago & after two moves, (San Diego to Denver to here) forgot I had.
That brought on an “I wonder” moment. Broke out my DCM M1 & loaded up three clips with the MG ammo & one with 150g federal JHP.
I set up a 2’ x 2’ paper target at 50 yds. Shot off hand & put eight rds of the federal into a 3” circle which for my failing eyes & old shaking hands is pretty good.
Then fired 24 rnds of the MG ammo, two, I repeat, TWO rounds hit the paper. Conclusion is that the MG ammo is only good making noise & loading & handling practice, but it is fun to shoot.
