I need some load recommendations.
My M1A will shoot, and shoot well--with 168 grain MatchKings, or 175 grain MatchKings.
I can not, however, afford a steady diet of these bullets. So, I have purchased a quantity of 147 and 150 grain pulled milsurp bullets.
My 03 Springfield loves the 147 grain boat tails. And, the Garand seems to like the flat-based 150 gr. FMJ.
However, the M1A is finicky. It does not like the cheap bullets. I, on the other hand am tired with seeing 5-7 inch groups at 100 yards with this rifle and the milsurp bullets. :banghead:
So far, I have tried IMR 4895 and BL(C)-2. Any suggestions?
