Howdy all.
My first post in THR.
I just bought a loaded M1A...brand new out of the box.
Its great, but Im not one for paying for factory ammo, and besides, never had much luck with it anyway.
I always hand load for my weapons.
Which brings me to the new M1A.
Head spaced to 1.631. TIGHT!
Found out the hard way..almost got a brass stuck in it. Lucky, I got it out ok.
Ive never reloaded for a semi before, but know you have to full length resize, which I did. Used brand new brass, so this was the second loading. Used Dillion 308 win die. Set almost touching the shell holder. Cant set it any lower.
Small base dies the answer?
Thanks!
