WebMay 21, 2016 · Handloading for the Garand requires diligence on our part to keep pressures at or below 50,000psi; the best beginning point is to simply duplicate the US Army load.

(standard "work your load up" warnings apply) As long as you are using IMR 4064 or faster you won't hurt the op-rod. WebLoad data: -150gr PPU (BO99) M2 bullets -OAL of 3.30" -Light crimp into groove -Charged H335 47.5gr.

You've already tried 47.5gr, which you say is a mid/low charge already. medicare b guidelines physical therapy
