       Making 7.5 French out of 30-06 brass.

       Anyone else do this? I've been die sizing down 30-06 brass into
       7.5 French and using pulled 147 Gr .308 surplus bullets with
       great results. The only thing that sucks is the width of the
       front sight post on my Mas 36, which makes a small target at 100
       yrds hard to see. At 50 yards, she was getting half inch groups
       which would be 1 MoA if I could see the damned target.
       I'm only bragging about the group size because usually I can't
       group for crap on rifles. The recoil with 42.5 grains of Norma
       202 is about as much as a .308. It's a beefy little rifle and I
       really like them.
       Tomorrow I'm going to be using a much larger target and will be
       taking video/pictures to show you how this "home made" ammo
       performs. It's a super cost effective way to load for these
       rifles without having to pay a dollar a round. Any questions,
       just pm or post.
