What did you do at your reloading bench today?

Post by **Headhog** » Sat Dec 12, 2020 2:45 pm

Went to the range yesterday and burned up most of my 30-06 ammo in the Garand. So out of need I put together some more loads. My favorite load for the Garand is a 150 gr. boattail bullet over IMR 4895. Most books with tell you that 49 gr. of 4895 is a good starting load, but I like to take it easy on the 75 year old M1. I prefer 47.5 gr. and the Garand functions flawlessly.

100 rounds loaded and ready for the next range trip.

RNG thanks. I use Missouri bullets for both my Henry BBS in 357 Mag and my Marlin in 45 Colt. They just flat out perform well.
