If your NM will not shoot this load sub-MOA, there is something seriously wrong with it.
Also, download and read Zediker's Reloading for the M14 article. </div></div>
That's about the book. Anywhere from 40.5 to 41.5 should do you well. If you're not using LC or Federal brass it may vary slightly, but that should get you very close to home. As said, if your rifle won't shoot this load, something is wrong.</div></div>
I shoot this load but with h4895. I get excellent results in my sprinfield nm ss. After zeroing, my first 5 shot group was sub moa as well as many others.
