beefan, I was using the Remington 150 gr. core-lokt in the green box.
It does it's job, the gun digests the rounds ok and on paper it alright. But, in the back of my mind; I wonder if I should be reloading hunting rounds for my m1. Work up a round that is close to the military ball ammo it was designed for shooting. I think this remington load is a little hotter/bullet faster, maybe if I could just tone down the speed somewhat with a reload the gun might like that.
(when I pick up that garand, the weight of it always get me. Humbles me too when I think of the solders who carried them in WWII, Korea and early Vietnam.)
Yes. Hornady publishes Garand appropriate loads, and you could plug in hunting bullets at the same weights as the match types in the data.
