    30 carbine, cast 94gr bullet, and 4198 ?

    I know, very odd ball situation.

    I want to make this bullet work since it's a 6 cavity.

    I'm just having issues figuring out the starting charge with 4198.

    You can't get enough 4198 into an M1 carbine case to get into trouble. Load a full case with 1/8" compression as if loading black powder in the .32-20.

    Very true, I've never shot this rifle.

    It's only got 50 rounds through it. If that
