I got the old Garand out the other day at the local range and re-affirmed my pet load. Winchester brass, Winchester large primer, 155gr Hornady AMAX bullet and 48gr of H4895. COAL is 3.300"
I usually fire 10 shot groups to get a real sense of accuracy. This is a typical group at 100 yards using the iron sights and 73 year old eyes. The rifle is a post WWII Springfield M1 and bone stock with no effort to accurize. My best 10-shot groups are usually in the 2.5 - 3" range. This one is just over 3".
