Pick up some 125gr bullets for the 200 yard line out of that M1. You will appreciate the difference in recoil. You don't even have to change the powder charge.

Is that with any of 125?? Pretty much. They have all shot well for me, Nosler, Sierra, Speer, Hornady, even those goofy looking Remingtons. However, the Nosler BTs & Sierra PHs are pretty expensive. The old Speer 125 TNT has long been a favorite and I've seen some good deals on those lately. You will notice the difference in recoil between those & 150s (unless you use ball powder).

I moved on I got me a M1 Garand.. thinking I'm going to shoot some service rifle matches with it. I found a load it likes, peep sights 100yds puts all 10 shots in a 5 1/2 circle. Anyhow have fun with this boys, I'm off to better things.. John, When I was stationed at Eielson, I used to hunt a power line cut down way back in the woods. One day I was sitting on "my spot" when an old timer came down the way carrying a M1 Garand. He sat with me for a while and we shared some of my coffee, and he told me that he brought the rifle back from Korea and shot a moose with it every year except "nineteen hundred and sixty four." Then he asked if I was alive back then (I was). I said, "That's heavy rifle to be carrying around in these woods at your age." He replied, "What's that fancy gun?" I told him it was a 300 Weatherby on an old FN action, but I hadn't shot any moose yet it. He replied "Well, if you ain't killin' no moose with it, then that's too heavy of a rifle to be carrying in these woods." He smiled and went on his way. A few hours later I say the old man on a hill about 500 yards from me get into his sling and into a sitting position. Soon after I heard five shots in quick succession. Then he stood up and yelled back in my direction, "Young man? Can you help me carry this moose out?" Which I did. I moved a year later and never saw the old boy again. The six years I lived in Alaska, I saw more hunting with 03-A3 rifles, Lee Enfields, Garands and Savage 99s than I've ever seen since, or expect to see again. I guess the bottom line is a Garand in the hands of someone who knows how to work it is a thing of wonder.

I'm bumping this one up. I feel like going shooting today. Need to test some new loads in my old 6.5 creed. Had to load the bullets out another .025" to maintain .020" off the lands. Preliminary shots yesterday looked pretty good. Only had 30 of those loaded up though and wanted to shoot some steel instead of paper. First 10 shot group (at 400 yards) on a 4" steel plate was right at 2.5" (.597 MOA average) . Had a buddy with me that is thinking about buying a creed, so I let him burn up the rest of the box of ammo I had. I'll go and load some more here in a bit and go to the range... We'll see if I can muster sub moa all day long again, on these paper targets.... This is still a good thread, just needs more shooters....
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Go do the mid range shoot you will have a blast OH hell yes I will. Was trying to talk one of my buddies into going, but he dropped out at the last second. Damn him... Well, I didn't swing sub moa with my rifle and adjusted load today. Too busy chasing off snakes!!!!!! I don't think I'll shoot at this 100 yard range again!!! It was crawling with snakes today. Nice and warm and they just wanted to come out and play.... That big sob came slithering out right after I fired my last shot. It passed right behind me with its head up and its rattle up. Before I knew it, I was standing on top of the steel bench, looking for a big rock to throw at the bastid. It slithered under my truck, so I got off the bench and found some rocks to scare it out from underneath my truck. Then it was pizzed. It slithered toward me, then I hopped back on the bench and proceeded to throw a big rock at its head. I think I barely rang its bell, but it didn't kill it. It slithered off into the blackberry bushes with what looked like 5 more little snakes.... I like this place for shooting my 450 yard steel plates, but the 100 yard bench is tucked away with big rocks and bushes near it. I'm not going back!!! I set up my little bench right in front of the big steel bench and shot my savage off of it today: Ever have a bad day shooting? ha ha...
