F Fatelvis Sergeant Full Member Minuteman Jun 15, 2003 308 4 Mokena, IL Sep 27, 2010 #1 Sep 27, 2010 #1 I have an original, unfired, low serial numbered M1A, with a 1:12 twist barrel. I would like to keep it original, but shoot out to 1000 yds with it accurately. What bullet/powder load would you use to achieve my goal? Thanks!

You have a unfired rifle you want a 1000 yard load for....interesting. First get some Federal GMM and see what it/you do at 100. If satisfactory, go shoot an across-the-course match: 200, 300 and 600 yard ranges.
