Went to the range today. took my M1A, FN-FAL,AKM and DR-200.
Warmed up with the Daewoo shot the AKM a little. Set a target on the 100 yard range took my M1A out of the case and shot a 1/2 inch three shot group dead center two inches high. That felt good after freezing my ass off all winter trying to find what works best in this rifle paid off today.
I used a Sierra 155gr Palma match king in a Black hills match case with 46.1 grains of IMR 4064 with a Fed 210M primer this is the load I've been looking for.
The CAI frankenfal shot well also. Days like this are few and far between

Good report, MIKE14. Does your M1A have a GI barrel or a match barrel?

The warmer weather brings out GREAT things!
Step back a few more hundred yards with that M1A and you will feel summer comming on!
