"Lucky to get minute of shed"
Seems you've got a lot to learn about the abilities of the .310 Cadet cartridge.

No1_49er wrote:SSAA Service Rifle target is Inner Central = 15cm, 5 = 30cm, 4 = 60cm, 3 = 80cm, 2 = 120cm.
Buddies generally within the 3 ring, at 300mtr. given good/no wind conditions.
Remember that this is a military training rifle, so was never meant to be a "tack driver".
Here's an interesting article from a publication across the ditch that I stumbled upon while toying with the idea of getting myself a Cadet.

It's a link that takes you to a pdf that you will then have to open, and save if you choose. I could have done the tiny url thing but lots of folk get confused by it. The link has been tested as it is, and works. You need the whole thing though, right out to and including the Eyl5
Good unmolested ones with good barrels are becoming increasingly difficult to track down.

Not surprisingly (given the tilt was, for competing in a tactical shooting match in the US) the answer was, they completely are. If the question had been more about big game or long range targets I suspect the answer would have been different.
But one point they made was that, back in the heyday of military bolt actions, 2-3 m.o.a was perfectly acceptable, even for a marksman's weapon. Wonder how many people would knowingly be fine about buying a rifle advertised as 2 m.o.a. today?
