    Is my Speer reloading manual gtg for a Garand?

    Are they giving load data for modern bolt action or is this data gtg for a Garand? I don't want to Kaboom my pretty relic.

      They should have Garand-specific load data in there.

      This thread should give you some ideas: http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s...d.php?t=993249

          I will have to look at mine but I know for a fact that the hornady manual has garand specific info

              If in doubt. buy this.


              Here is a good read as well: http://www.garandgear.com/m1-garand-ammunition

              Hornady 9th has load data specifically for the M1 also.

                  47grs of IMR4895 with a 147-150gr bullet is a standard M1 Grand load.
                  I do not remember any loads for the Garand in the Speer manuals.
                  A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

                      Just about any med burn rate powder in the range of 45-47gr will be good for the M1.I personally wouldnt load any hotter than what the military loaded.Match M72 with the 173gr bullet had 46gr of 4895.+ or - 1gr ...ehh
                      Keep it simple!
