[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 898340, member: 2736"] Not all rifles like slow loads to be accurate. Some barrels like hot loads. (The hotter the better). Try different powders in your rifle like H 4064 and 4895 and some others almost the same burn rate. My best load is IMR 3031, Fast and accurate.(My rifle likes hot loads but I keep them within reason and get 3 or 4 loadings before I trash the brass). In the M1-A you have to watch the port pressures but the powders normally used are 42 grains of 4895 and 168 SMKs. Varget should also work. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
