    M1 Garand

    Re: M1 Garand HXP brass works and is durable I just started shooting my Garand again so I'm in the R&D stage . It seems to cycle with no issues what so ever . I haven't gotten around to weighing them yet . But it does function reliably . The winchester 147 FMJ's are not very consistant at all...

    New to reload, need input on gear.

    Re: New to reload, need input on gear. I'm not familiar with the press you mentioned . My guess is GAP as in the 45 GAP round . For starters get a manual . I recomend the Lyman 49th edition and it's only around $29.00 . It's packed full of great information , READ all of it then read it again...
