Looking around some more, most do not recommend 4320 at all for a Garand. The reason you are feeling reduced recoil is because the powder is at the bottom... -
Maybe. Maybe not. You know what can happen when you ass-u-me. There may be very good reasons it's recommended for a Minigun (clearances, viscosity, tolerances)...Last edited by lapriester; 04-19-2019, 04:08 AM.Leave a comment:

Be very careful about pushing 180's to 2600 FPS. With 4895 that would mean loading to almost Max bolt gun data. The fact is, with published M1 Garand...Last edited by lapriester; 04-16-2019, 06:27 PM.Leave a comment:

Uh no. You could achieve that with a round loaded with a powder with a burn rate much too slow to be appropriate for a Garand. The proper gas pulse...Leave a comment:

What are the markings on the side of the barrel that you should see with the op rod pulled back? The barrel date should also be visible. The 308/7.62...Leave a comment:

S&B, PPU, Hornady, Fed American Eagle all make acceptable ammo specified for a Garand. As far as your bolt guns, you can use any 30-06 ammo commercially...Leave a comment:

IMHO white lithium grease is fine for lubricating your car door latches and recliner mechanism but not an acceptable grease for Garand lubrication. Most...Leave a comment:

I have a repro NM complete rear sight on the 308 NM I built. It had to be properly fitted to accept the aperture before installation. Out of spec? Not...Leave a comment:

Fact is, you'll never see enough of a difference from a standard Garand to notice accuracy changes by fretting about bullet jump. It's hard to tell a...Leave a comment:
