Well, I'm not Rocky, but....
I have in the past, bought collet pulled FMJ 30 cal milsurp bullets to shoot out of an M-1. The bullets are really cheap, and look fine. (147 spitzer bt's).
You can buy a bullet that looks identical in every detail, in bulk from Winchester.
I've shot about 250 of the pulls, and a bit more of the new Winchester bullets- same load in every other respect.
From a none too accurate old beater M-1 Garand, the Winchesters outshoot the pulled bullets by about a 25% margin.
Now, I'll shoot pulls if I just wanna hear a bang, but if I shoot paper, it's new bullets.
