Always interested in hearing what's going on with load developement for the M1A.

Wish I could give you some useful info.
Went to the range with several interesting loads using all sorts of different bullets and two powder types, incrementing the charge slowly.
Unfortunately, I had no business doing this since I had not shot this rifle in almost 6 months.
Last time I shot it I kept 3" groups with milsurp ammo on the standard iron sights. Musta been beginner's luck finding the right sight picture right away and just sticking with it.
I went this time and my horizontal spread was less than an inch, but my vertical spread was about 7-8". This was after warming up with about 40 rounds of the same milsurp I shot last time.
So, before I can play in the magic M1A reloading game, I need to practice more with milsurp and my sight picture. Oh, well.
