    Reloading rifle ammo is something I just have never had the patience for!

    I started with .223, and loaded a bit of it before realizing that factory ammo is cheap enough that it isn't worth the time.

    Now I mostly load and cast for .38/.357, and for 8mm mauser, .303 british, and .30 carbine when I want to shoot those.

    I think I have put at least 1500 of my handloads through that service six you sold me!

    The 9th edition Hornady book has M1 Garand 150gr FMJ loads using Varget and H335. Sierra recommends IMR4895 and IMR 4064 with their bullets.

    Here's a scan from Hornady:

    I'll give you a good deal if you need any powder/primers/bullets.
