4895, for some reason has never ever given the accuracy I wanted in any of my M1a’s.
My go-to load in any M1a I shoot is 41-42 grains of IMR-4064 behind a 168 SMK. If that doesn’t do it, scrap the rifle and move on.
Carried an M-14 a long time ago and dearly love it.
My current M1a has a National Match wood stock, a Harris (Harris- McMillian?) match barrel, TRW internals and was reworked by folks at the AMTU at Ft Benning an hour and a half north of me. Before that it was involved in a murder/suicide and sold later to me by our Sheriffs Department. 😳 She puts all of her shots in nickel sized groups at 100. Mean little girl
