My Garand load is simple actually-
LC brass, FL sized in RCBS SB dies, crimp swaged with the RCBS primer pocket swager, cut to uniform depth with a Lyman iool; CCI 200 primer, 48.0 of WW748 or BLC2, 150 grain Hornady FMJ, medium crimp in the groove.
This load develops about 46000 cup according to the WW data booklets. This will operate your action and gives outstanding accuracy without unduly battering the op rod and action. I've shot thousands of these loads and NEVER had a slamfire or any other malfunction. I shoot the same load in my 742 with a Sierra 150 Prohunter bullet; bang, flop. venison every time.
