178's and the M1A???

[ColoWyo]

Anybody shooting the Hornady 178 AMAX's in your M1A? I have a couple hundred laying around and I'd like to give it a shot. My M1A hasn't even been fired in a couple of years and I think she's feeling a bit neglected.

Anybody got some load data they'd like to share with me. At least a good starting point in regards to OAL and preferably with Varget.

Thanks guys.
