The dial caliper never lies and virtually ALWAYS disappoints.

The military accpatance standard for M2 ball (best I can recall) was about FOUR (4) MOA (or less) from a TEST BARREL FIXTURE. Even hand-loaded into carefully prepped cases with weighed charges, M2 heads still stink and constiture a waste of powder and primers.
You sure like to thump your chest don’t you. Not being informed to the highest degree of aptitude I shall hesitate to articulate for fear I may deviate from the true course of rectitude, and shall leave all things Garand to your Expertise and Mastery. By your leave.
