Re: M1 garand load data

Thanks BB , But that data isn't consistent with what I have been finding ??? Wonder why the variation ? 47grs. IMR 4895 with most bullets 150 gr. to 165 gr. but I would think there would have to be a difference in powder weight for the difference in bullet weight like your manuel says .Thanks for ta...

Re: M1 garand load data

Everything I'm finding says to use IMR 4895 somewhere around 47 grs. with 150 to 165 gr. bullets , just trying to confirm the data . Iv'e been told that the 13th edition speer book has data specifically for the M1 garand , if anyone has a copy please let me know what there data is.

Re: Barnes 26gr Varmint Grenade

There is good primer info if you go to the home page and its the last heading under misc .Most are using either the rem. 7 1/2 and the CCI 450 or the ...

Re: Can't get the Carbon out of my barrel !

Just checked with Bore-tech and they still don't have the nylon bore brushes for the .204 !!! What other brand of nylon brush is strong enough for bore cleaning and is either plated or doesn't have any copper in it ???

Re: Barnes 26gr V. Grenade

Kyle , Thats not good news but who knows maybe the 204 will like them , I'm not sure that they would be any better than the Sierra 39 gr. BK , especially for these big old whistle-pigs we have here in PA . I'm thinking there probably better suited for ground squirrels and PD'S , But its always fun t...
