Do you guys think that the max loads are on the very conservative side?
Also what are your thoughts on the powders listed as being in the "range" for the M1?
I was thinking of trying VIHT N-150 and RL-15 with 168 gr bullets. Any experiance with these powders in the M1?
Also a general question- generaly is it true that the higher the powder charge required to load for a specific velocity the slower the burn rate? Example 44.6 IMR 4895 = 2500 compared to 46.0 of RL-15 = 2500 meaning that RL-15 is slower.
