when I started this thread it was a to say I think this cartridge has a lot more potential use than just the M1 platform. I would love to have a barrel for my handi rifle in the chambering. I don't really know why since I have a new "Talo" 357 with an 18" barrel that came with open sights. It will do as much or more than a 30 carbine round would do in the same platform.
I guess the smallness and compactness of the round has appeal. Sorta like a 410 has a certain magnatism to it. I know with reloading it could be turned down for a good small game round. I mentioned I have a marlin in 32 mag and some of the funnest loads are with a 76gr lead bullet and 2grs of Titegroup. These loads go 930fps and are as quiet as CB 22s.
I also think the M1 and the little 30 caliber round is a marriage made in heaven. Its just needs a few offspring to round out its life.
