Howdy neighbors,
I am about to take possession of a new Auto Ordnance M1 carbine. I bought it from the original owner who never fired it. He says it is a new production from last year.
I have never cast or reloaded for 30 Carbine ammo so I read through multiple threads and came up with a plan. I bought the Lee C309-120-2R mold and the Lee 311-100-2R mold. I gas checked the 120 grain bullets. I sized both to .309 and lubed them.
I then loaded a few rounds of each with various powders so I think that I am ready.
My questions is: All of my reading is based on GI issue M1's. Is there anything unique to the Auto Ordnance rifles that I have to watch for? I know it's not a military rifle but any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your input.
