[4719dave]

Guys, 1st casting for this gun , CMP carbine . Mold is 311359gc not sure on mixture.

I have ww , lino and tin can you help me out here . Ive got a 20lbs bottom pour was thinking about dropping 10lb . what do you guys use for your bullets ? This is the first RIFLE boolits i'll be doing
h2o dropping ?

For the fmj, sp and hp this is what i found as a standard
As a starting reference for an accurate handload of known properties, Winchester-Western published a
loading for the .30 M1 Carbine using their WW296. This loading has been quite satisfactory over a long
period of time. WW296 was developed specifically for loading Carbine ammunition. The Winchester
WW296 loading duplicates the original USGI ammunition specifications.
The exact Winchester load is:
Powder: Winchester WW296 15.0 grains (considered maximum, do not exceed)
Bullet: Winchester 110 grain hollow soft point
Cases: WW used for data
Primers: WSR used for data
Specifications: 1980 feet per second at 36,000 C.U.P pressure in a 20” barrel. This matches the USGI
velocity spec of 1970 feet per second and is well under the 40,000 C.U.P. pressure spec gtg or should i REDUCE CHARGE

I use the LEE C309-120-R with a GC and 12.5 grains of W296 with great results.

I use the 15 grain formula with 110 grn jackets
