Reloading for an M1 with BLC2 AND 178 AMAX

[fmelloni82]

HEY guys,

I am reloading for my Springfield m1 and want to run my rounds off with a progressive. I have a ton of 178 amax s and blc 2. Not the most accurate combination I
know.

Has anybody had any successful loads they can share? Im looking for charge weight (to work up to of course) and oal.

Also if anybody can recommend another, or better powder that meters good accurate rounds im game. Im looking for something that can get me at least 2 moa. safesafesafe

Careful with the M1. Wrong powder can bend the rods. IMHO I'd stick with 4895 or 4064. Old technology.
