[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 863531, member: 8362"] Ya, the M1A has that huge floating firing pin (no firing pin retracting spring) so use those CCI mil spec primers and be sure they are fully seated. Stay in the powder burn range of IMR 4895 and IMR 4064, they create the port pressures the rifle was designed for. Avoid maximum loads, stay close to mil-spec as possible. The 147-150g. projectiles will be fine, the 168g. may or may not shoot, depends on your rifles' preference. The usual twist rate for a std. M1A is 1-12 [/QUOTE]
