I'm assuming most are DCRA's..?
A couple of targets, two different loads shot at different times (100 yards off the bench). I admit, on these occasions I was in good form, doesn't happen often.
You can take these as minute of internet if you choose or as a honest representation of what the DCRA is capable of. I can scan a truck load of less-than-stellar targets of the same rifle, but the cause for poor accuracy will always be the same; ME. Plus why use up a whole lot of bandwidth looking at sh!t targets.

Conversion #544
I recall shooting #544 with Lake City NM ammo some years ago. With that ammo the rifle was a very solid 1 MOA performer. This rifle is firmly cork packed through the forestock.
I've heard that many of these conversion rifles were not good performers, but simply have not had any reason to test them with good ammunition.

#801
Here is #801, 1945 LB matching #s, with PH5C and Sterling made 308 mag. I added the Sterling Mag, no mods made to the gun and it feeds fine. Came with the correct sling and it has a chart on the butt for sight adjustments using DA ball. Someone had placed a brass butt plate on it which I replaced with a new steel LB one (I still have the brass one).

I don't think it was DCRA marked, at least it wasn't mentioned as such.
I thought 7.62 with lugs is kind of an odd ball
