Just wandering is any one using Varget for thier M1A I have 8 pounds and am looking for some load starting load data. I have once fired Lake City brass.
It's funny that you mention port pressure. I'm thinking, could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time, that the NM piston relieves more port pressure than stock GI and that's why I get better accuracy with Varget and 168 grainers. If my thinking is rite, and I switched to a stock GI piston and shot 150 grainers I'd get better accuracy with 4895?
Just send me the Varget. My bolt gun loves 44.6grns under a 168SMK GI2. Being new to the world of the service rifle I'm burning 4895 in my M1A. There are generations of shooters that this has served well, the one thing I learned shooting bolt guns there is really no need to reinvent the wheel.
