I understand the concept of trial & error when it comes to establishing repeatable performance with a specific load on a specific rifle. Assuming of course all reloading components and conditions are consistent.
I’ve been told that many shooters develop one load for 200 / 300 and another for 600. My goal (if it’s possible) is to develop a load for my Garand that I can use “across the course” making elevation adjustments only.
So, if I’m using the Remington centerfire ballistics table for example, and I’m able to match the muzzle velocity with the bullet weight and type listed on the chart, can I expect to be in the ballpark with respect to the trajectory figures published on the table ? And therefore, know my required elevation adjustment ahead of time ?
I’m also concerned with the load tolerances associated with the M1 Garand, specifically with respect to damaging the op rod with the incorrect load.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
