LOADS FOR THE M1 GARAND
The following information was written by Ed Harris and
relates to suggested loads for the M1 Garand. You can direct
question to Ed through the Firearms Echo.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
I have had good luck with the following .30-'06 loads, using
LC Match cases and either Fed. 210M or Winchester WLR primers.
These charges are not quite max., but there is no need to exceed
them. Main thing you must realize is that current IMR powders are
somewhat faster than those made prior to 1976, and great old
loads you may have heard need to be cut at least 5% across the
board with current powders.
150-gr. MK to simulate M2 Ball velocity - 49 grs. IMR4895
or 50 grs. IMR4064
or 48 grs. IMR3031
or 50 grs. W748
168-gr. MK for 300 rapid and calm 600 46 grs. IMR4895
48 grs. IMR4064
or 48 grs. W748
LC 173-175 pulls or Sierra 180MK 45 grs. IMR4895
USE THESE FOR 600 47 grs. IMR4064
I don't recommend slower powders than 4064 or W748 in the
Garand.
Of the Accurate Arms powders, 2520 is probably the best
choice, but I don't have specific .30-'06 data for it. AAC's
recommended charges should be OK. If your Garand is 7.62 NATO
let me know and I will post you some appropriate data - have
pressure tested a lot in that caliber.
