i am about to acquire an m1a set up to nm specs and was trying to get info on known performance loads and also see if varget and 175smk would work well in an m1a
There are specific loads for the M-1 usually using a bullet of 150-172 gr and 4895 or 4064. The wrong load can damage the rifle (even including some factory ammo!)

Go to the bottom of the reloading stuph, there are reccommended loads for the M1 and M1A.
