ALAN, I guess I know why I lost 2 op-rods off 2 garands.
cut my right hand deep, thats how far the one came off,
also had 8 rd. burst fire before rods came off,I had several
pounds of IMR 4350, and I loaded alot of 06 for P-17s,
another powder which I used as fertilizer H 450, had really
high pressure signs with starting load, I thought 4350 was
a powder they used in WW2? made for garands, hell don't
take my advice thats for sure. me and garands never did get along.
