Finally got a chance to take the M1 out again today. This is my first attempt at reloads for it. I had 3 recipes to try. 11, 11.5 and 12 grains of 2400. Shot ten rounds each at 25 yards using a bag in front. They all cycled fine but the 12 grainers definitely were tighter than the others.

96969

Boolits were Lee 309-120s gas checked and powder coated.

96970

I am going to be switching to H-110 soon as I have a new 8lb jug of it and only about a pound of 2400. Any suggestions on load data with the H-110 would be appreciated because I am not having much luck finding any with the boolit I am using. Thanks for looking.

Max with the 110 should be 14.5grs. You may find data that goes heavier but I found it was too hot here in Phx in the summer.
