Actually my 1945 Inland prefers ordinary cast lead with lube over powder coating. Running IMR 4227 pushing a 100 grain LRN bullet gives me 1651.8 fps and 3" accuracy at 100. Living in the land where the government has banned the AR 15 and 1,500 other firearms, the M1 Carbine is a nice alternative for 3 gun matches. Once I scrounged up enough brass, reloading the .30 Carbine cost wise is no different than reloading 5.56mm.
