Starting to work up loads for my Iver Johnson 30 M1 Carbine. Have Hornady and Hodgdon load data. Any good suggested loads welcome.

Lets first determine your ultimate targets.

1. Holes in paper
2. Wild gsme.
3. People

You're definite up, on top of your game, with Hornady and Hodgdon

Will be both home personal protection and plinker. I have a recipe for 15gr of H110 topped with a 110 gr Speer TMJ. Primer is a CCI.

110 grain FMJ and 15 grains of IMR4227. 1,900 fps matches the military loading.

I use H110 for the 30 carbine

H-110 or alliants 2400.
I like sr mag primers with the 2400.

h110 and the 110 grain rn sierra stay away from 2400 it works fine but is extremely dirty

Interesting. I also noticed that H4227 left the barrel dirty when shooting my 44 mag. Thanks for the tip.

All the Mi Carbines I ever had were good for going "BANG" and that's about it. I used to hear stories from my old sergeants who served in Korea about shooting Chinese with them; they would just keep yelling and running toward the US positions. They had to be hit with an M1 or M1919 before they would fall. The thick padded jackets would act as bullet proof vests so they would not penetrate well. But they are fun guns.
