Some garand reloading info I've found in my notes. I'll post more as dig deeper.
Test rifle had a like new VAR barrel on it and it shoots REALLY well.
Velocity reading at ~15ft.
168/175grn loads:
Varget 48.0 2700fps.
BLC-2 49.0 2750fps
I4320 48.5 2750fps
I4064 48.0 2690fps
I4895 47.0 2685fps
I3031 46.0 2780fps
150/155gr loads:
Varget 49.0 2900fps
BLC-2 50.0 2810fps
I4320 52.0 2930fps
I4064 52.0 2960fps
I4895 50.0 2910fps
I3031 49.0 2975fps
Just for giggles...the Hornady MAX load for the 150gr garand.
Varget 46.2 2634fps. 200fps SLOW according to milspec!
Thats why Hornady garand data is junk and I don't recommend it.
