I’m reloading for my uncles 742 30-06 he left me and I know there guns that come with a lot of issues… so far this 9ne has been cycling pretty good with my loads… I’m loading 46gr of imr4895 with a 165gr Sierra HPBT and I’m getting average of 2450fps… I’m looking at M1 Garand load data and I’m about 1 grain shy of a max load for that gas operated gun… I’ve got a buddy that reloads for the m1 and he’s telling me my bullets are going to slow he’s recommending 48gr 4895… I’m happy with the accuracy right at 1” at 50 yards so I’m thinking 2” or so at 100 yards… this gun is only gonna be for Avereage size Whitetail deer in the 110lb field dress weight range… Do you guys think I’m under load8ng this rifle or should I bump it up a grain or two?
