Looking forward to a CMP Garand

[Laufer]

TDH:
Although I've never tried any shooting beyond 100 yards, except .22s at the river, your shooting appears to be excellent.

Congrats on your new rifle. My 'problem' is whether to sell the handy Mini 30 FTF (cheap plink ammo), just to buy a second Garand.
With the tedious, time-consuming single-stage Lee press (all manually trimmed etc, trimmer often Yanked out of tight cases with difficulty...), it will take lots of time to reload for the Garand, as it is for my Lee-Enfields.

Thanks Laufer as a good friend who is an excellent shot says I'm adequet. If I can keep them within minute of bad guy I'm happy.

Keep the plinker. I single stage all my ammo and hand trim all my cases as well. A trick I have come up with for those sticky cases on the trimmer. Take your deburring tool and lightly champher the inside of the neck and then treim halfway to length. Remove case and trim inside of neck again and finish trim and debur. It certainly helps me.
