    Using Norma brass and 2209, RWS primers. Mild load at 2430 fps.

    Out yesterday using diopter sights(my eyes are ancient) and shot a 6 shot group at 1.5 MOA at 100 yds.
    Also have a side mounted 4x scope and most of my groups nudge <1MOA with that.
    Tried some 155gr Dyer yesterday and they performed very well so will stock up a few.
    Also tried 2213sc yesterday and that was hopeless.

    The K31 accuracy continues to amaze me. No wonder the Yanks love them.

    I have a second K31 that I shoot H&N lead projectiles with my 22 Hornet powder. It also shoots OK.

    Have a reasonable quantity of GP11 but have never got around to firing it.
    There is also a guy in Wanganui bringing in ammo (Prvi?). I enquired but his FMJ had sold out real qiuck.
    If you ever decide to part with your GP11 ammo please give me a shout

    I'll keep you in mind.

    Anyone looking for factory ammo this guy has some but only SP, no FMJ. https://ammodirect.co.nz/product-category/7.5x55-Swiss/
    Also checked with the NZ Sellier and Bellot agent. They have brought it in but none at present.
