M1 Garand load

[wisconsinteacher]

I reloaded for my M1 last night and made up some rounds with 168 A-Max bullets. I used 45 gr of IMR 4064. I have tried some rounds with 46-47-48-49-50 grains but as the weight went up the groups opened up as well. What are you guys using for 30-06 loads in your M1s?

Somewhere between 45-47gr of IMR 4895 you should find a sweet spot.
I used Nosler CC 168gr and 46.5gr IMR4895/CCI 34 primer COL 3.30
I tried H4895 but the IMR shot better
Varget is another one to try. Did alright but the IMR4895 is still king
