I have come into a M1 Carbine .30 Caliber in almost new shape. I have been shooting Winchester White Box in it but want to start loading. I have about 3000 white box brass, Winchester small rifle primers, 1500 coated lead bullets. Have several powders to use as I load most pistol cals and 15 rifle cals. I have several loading Manuel’s I use but why reinvent the wheel? Here is cast bullets home so should be loads of info. I can’t get search to work for me!

Lucky guy! Great rifle, in new condition! Sounds like you've got most of everything needed to live happily ever after. What bullet do you intend to use? 110 gr. cast? H110 and 2400 are good carbine powders.

I'm sure I missed a few. I really like .30 Carbine, always a pleasure to shoot and can be more accurate and effective than given credit for.

Brother #1 says the load I made for him is
amazingly accurate. A NOE 127 gr loverin style
plain base, powdercoated with IMR4227.

I use the Lyman 130 gr plain base and 14 gr of either 4227 or 2400. Both loads are reliable and accurate and cycle the action reliably.

Here's a couple of places to look:

Also try an advanced search and change the time frame to "any", I suspect that you may not be looking at a large enough time slice to find what you are looking for.

Good luck.

Taught our two sons to shoot center fire rifle with a 43 Inland.
Then reload those hundreds of rounds of brass.
Still have the two cavity Lee 120 grain RNGC mold we still use along with a second. Sure do not reload by the 500 count anymore.
Then graduated to the M1-A's.
Bought a Dillon 500 in 88. That sure has served us very well.

Are the "1500 coated lead bullets" GC'd?

If not, then I suggest 4227. Back many years I wanted a cast bullet load to equal the trajectory of ball to 300 yards. I worked the 311410 every which way from Sunday and found 12 gr of 4227 to be the best load with the PB'd bullet but the accuracy and trajectory was still wanting. However, once I tried a 311359 GC'd cast bullet over H110 the accuracy (usually 2 - 1/2 moa at 100 yards with a 15 round mag) and trajectory [to match the regulation of sight ranges] were quickly found. The 311410 was quickly traded off. The coating may make an accuracy difference with your bullets but only by shooting can you know.
