While sighting in my FAL last weekend with some new loads I noticed a strange coincidence - my rounds were going exactly where I wanted them.
I've got a DSA STG58 carbine and when I first got it I was lucky to get 4" groups at 100 yds. I added a 1x3 Weaver to use for 3gun (I don't like FAL irons) and did pretty well out to 400 yards, but not exactly tack driving. I needed to change powders due to penny pinching (I had it laying around) and my new loads were using 4064 and some Privi FMJ's - not really a match grade combination. I was adjusting the gas setting and adjusting the scope but I stopped adjusting sights for 4 rounds to see what kind of group I would get - 1.4". Certainly better than I ever expected.
So I'm thinking I can get closer to 1" at 100yds because:
my trigger sucks and I plan on getting that fixed
I'll continue to dial in my load
trying a better bullet
Anyone else get 1 MOA with a STG58? Care to share some load data?
BTW - love shooting this gun!!!!
