H-110 For Reloading the M1 Carbine

[Radiodude]

Newbie to This Forum

I would like to hear from those of you who reload using H-110. I’m interested in the grain amount you are using for your reloads in your carbine.

I have experience in reloading .45, .40 and 9mm. This is the first rifle I have I’ve owned a rifle since I was a young boy of 13 (a .22) and it’s been 40 years since I have fired a carbine when I had to qualify with it when I was in the army.

My carbine is an Inland with a barrel stamp of “12-44”, with “P” and a manufacture date of March 1945. It’s all Inland except the hammer and butt plate which are Winchester.

Reloading components I will be using:

500 carbine casings, mixture of head stamps; LC 77 & 73.
2lbs of H-110 powder
Wolf small rifle primers.
X-Treme bullets, 110gr.


I have the Layman 48th and Speer #14 reloading manuals.

Any information you have reloading H-110 in your carbine will be very helpful.

While H110 is a fine powder for jacketed bullets, it is not the best powder to use with cast or plated bullets. I would suggest 2400 or IMR4227 powder for these bullets.

14.5 gr.......

H110 and Win 296 are the SAME powder. Just different lots. Either will run fine at 14.5 gr.

[Dave Waits]

H110-14.5 grains
2400-14 grains
Either will give you 1975fps about 12' from muzzle.
