The burning rate is too fast I believe. ( I think, but I'll write it and then if I am wrong someone can chime up and correct me) This creates a different pressure curve and can bend the operating rod. | ||

Thanks for the replys. I am headed to the range in the morning with the following load 150 Grain Speer Mag tip 48 grains of XMR 4064 CCI 200 Mil. Case full re-size (once fired in this gun) Seated to the cannelure (which is .075 off the lands) Lee Factory Crimp AR manuel #2 list 150 NBT with 47.2 to 52.5 of XMR 4064 in an IMI case with a CCI 200 Hoping for < 4" at 100 yds. Open sights. | |||

The Hornady manual has M1-specific loads. Enjoy your hunt! Those M1 sights are almost as good as a 4X. | |||

That load should be great! Let us know how it shoots. | ||

Tried today. Got 2-1/2 to 3 inch groups at 100yds off a bench. About as well as I can shoot with open sites and the standard trigger. This is a CMP gun with no other work done to it. Shoots to almost the same POA as the Korean surplus 150 ammo I have. I am happy with it. | |||

Had a great hunt. Shot a large whitetail doe at 70 yds from a ladder stand with no rest. CMP issue M1 with the load listed above. In the front of one shoulder, out just behind the other shoulder. She went maybe 20 yds. Bullet performed well. Got lucky - if she had come by 5 minutes later it would have been to late to see the front sight. Thanks to all. Will post a picture soon. | |||
