I would like to know what every one uses for your M1, In A 168gr. match or the 175gr. match. Like to know bullet type, and what powder. Or if you buy natl. match ammo

Shot 150 rds today with various loads to see if I could find a load that my M1 was really happy with and the one that stood out from them all was 46.8gr & 47.0gr of H4895...grouped 1.5" @ 100yds. No glass bedding, no match components. Cartridge was LC mil brass and confirmed weight 168.0gr Sierra Match King. When I say "confirmed" I mean to say that all bullets were categorized by .1grain difference and I used only the 168's. I could have used the others, i.e 167.9 or 167.8 as long as I remained consistent in these trials.

Toscano, I posted this some time back, and have worked out A load , that is H-4895 at 47.5 with the 168gr.MK,so what you are telling me is what I found out my self.But thank you very much for your return post. 6.5 SWEDE

FC brass, WLR primer, and 50gr. of BLC2, 147gr. Win FMJ's for plinking, and the same load with 150gr. SST's for accuracy work.

165 A-Max and Nosler competition, with 47gr of 4895 and CCI 48 primer. This functions well and seems to be as accurate as the old M1's I've put it through. Kudude
