[QUOTE="KurtM, post: 1347880, member: 6064"] Ahhh Well a Johnson M1941 is a rotory bolt, 10 round magazine 30-06 battle rifle. It was made by the Johnson Automatic Rifle company. It was tested and deployed by the U.S.M.C. durring WWII. Matter of fact the Johnson Rifle concept is well known today as the operating system found in the M-16 he had an 8 lug rotating bolt identical to the AR's. it was a short "recoil" operated system, much like the M-14 gas piston so standard 30-06 loads will be fine in the Johnson. I have been told by afficianados that it is best to stay under 180 grain bullets. The reason regular 30-06 loads are bad in an M1 is that the pressure curve is wrong for the long old op-rod which can and will bend with Non Military type loads. KurtM [/QUOTE]
