[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 406033, member: 15748"] 436, Haven't tried any myself, but they should do just fine in an M1A. I'd expect to see some difference in the reloading data due to the compressibility (or lack thereof) compared to a conventional lead-cored jacketed bullet, but that shouldn't be any surprise. Assuming these to be a bit longer than a conventional 168, but I doubt that you'll have any twist/stability issues with a standard 1x12" twist barrel. The usual cautions apply about powder selection; nothing slower than 4895 or 4064, and stop at around 2,600 fps to roughly match M118/M852 specs. Kevin Thomas Lapua USA [/QUOTE]
