I used a many Speer 130 gr. Hp's without problems as well as a good many Match Kings. The Speer 130's shoot well enough for some match shooting. I have shot Speer 165 gr SPBT without problems as well.

I think the bigger problem will be powder used for the M-1 as they need a powder that won't bend the op rod. Burning rates between IMR 3031 and IMR 4064 are about right.

I would say out of my '06 M-1, the best groups I have obtained have normally been with CCI large rifle primers and IMR 4064.
