Has anyone been noticing most of the Midway carbines with Dogleg hammers have the 26 Coil Hammer spring ?
Note about reloading:
Check your Powder makers Web Sites Often... multiple times a day.
A number of Powder makers have been selling directly to us the consumer. Price runs about ~$3-$4 more a pound than Honest suppliers sell for.
They do have some limitations: Product must be in stock, 1 order per 30 days, limit of 5 SKU part numbers per item... IE 5-1lb 296, 5-1lb H335 etc until you hit 5 SKU Part numbers, usually 40lb limit on total order (shipping weight), and these are not to be retail sold. My last 3 orders over the past 90+ days have totaled 80+ lbs of Powder.
Don't underestimate Vihtavuori N110 for the M1Carbine. Little more expensive but very clean and consistent. Shoots very well in cold and hot summer days.
A recent surprise to me: Chrono test achieved quicker speeds from Standard Small Rifle Primers vs Magnum Small Rifle Primers. Standard SRP measured about 30' Fps faster from the muzzle. Will test 296 vs H110 with Stan-SRP vs Mag-SRP soon. And will test the mixed .357 loads of VV110 Soon.
