Those rifles were bored and throated for the Lapua D-56 bullet, (still in production) and are throated long so they will fire Soviet bloc ammo as well. Mine shot the Lyman 311299 in wheelweight metal as cast very nicely, Norma 7.62x54 spectacurlarly. Lapua D-56 bullets loaded in Norma brass was frighteningly accurate. Those bullets miked .308". Soviet and Russian made M-N barrels, on the other hand, will measure anywhere from .307" - .314". <BR/><BR/>Gerry N.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
