I will be loading a run of .308 Win for an 18" M1A I purchased recently. Things have gone well so far with the exception of the extractor deciding to take a hike on the first magazine w/ factory ammo.
The bullets are new surplus 147gr FMJ's going in LC brass with probably WLR, although I have Rem. and Federals too.
Powders I have in quantity are Varget, H4895, and H335. Anyone using these powders in their semi-autos? I would prefer loads that are easier on the gun and the brass, but haven't seen many loads for the lighter bullets in a search here. I'm just looking for a good start point for this application based on experience.
