Orlando, how, in great detail, do you load your M1; both for single loading and loading a full clip?

If you touch the op rod in any way after the bolt locks into battery, that's guaranteed to make the chambered round shoot its bullet astray. How far depends on how the op rod's fit.

Note also that there may be nothing at all wrong with your rifle or how you load it. People are always part of the accuracy equasion; some a lot, others a little.
