For the fellers who reload, what kind of loads are you shooting out of your Garands? I don't have an adjustable gas plug.

I load up 46grns of IMR4064,and #200CCI large rifle primer and My favorite plinker uses Hornady 150gr FMJBT.For Hunting rounds I use Sierra 150gr PSPBT
these are intermediate loads.and I find them to function very reliably in all of My M1's.

Howie,

Here are my favorite loads for the garand:
46.2 grains of IMR 4064 or 45.5 grains of IMR 4895
168 grain Sierra BTHP
Winchester WLR primers
HXP Brass trimmed to 2.484"
C.O.L. 3.300"

They are easy on my shoulders and accurate if I do my job.
