Which M2 Ball ammo is considered more accurate?

Which M2 Ball ammo is generally considered more accurate, the Greek HXP or the Lake City?

Thanks.

they both work equally well from my rifles. the worst ive tried so war is the Korean stuff.

In most competive circles shooting John C. Garand matches, the Greek is generally favored over the later Lake City.

I know the Greek shot for the 2007 National John C. Garand match was good shooting ammo for being ball ammo. At the 200 yards the match was shot at, each of my shots were pretty much on call. Still, it won't run with a good 168 SMK load.

Military M2 accuracy potential???

In order, best to worst....

Danish AMA
Lake City w/gilding jackets (LC-66 and some LC-67)
Greek HXP
Lake City w/steel jackets (Just about everything except 66 & 67)
Korean PS
Korean KA

Just my opinion,

Thanks for the replies. I am not looking to do any very long range shots, but for 100-200 yard target shooting, I was wondering if one is more consistent than the other. Just trying to get some trigger time behind my bolt gun and I thought M2 Ball ammo might be the most cost-effective way to do it. For roughly the same price, I was wondering which mfg. to go with.

I may just get one can of each since the Greek is supposed to be in a spam can and the Lake City is loose in an ammo box. Shoot the LC first, save the Greek?

Anybody have any experience with Canadian (IIRC) DA-62?
