Reloading guidelines for M1 Garand M2 Ball ammo
Dec 29, 2019 · The m1 bullet was 172-3 and was replaced by the m2 150 gr bullet for weight savings on the soldier and shipping however the m1 was still retained for belted machine guns and sniper use as it did in fact fly farther for the machine guns and shoot better for snipers. Nm 06 Ammo was always loaded with 172/3 grain bullets and is fine for the garand.

lake city brass | Shooters' Forum
Jun 3, 2012. #3. Like necchi says, it is NOT the same brass. Personally, I've found that the Federal is thicker brass, but I like the Lake City brass better because it's seems to be more elastic and resiliant.

Anybody ever use TULAMMO L.R. primers? - Shooters' Forum
Mar 22, 2014 · I have used them for about 4 years now. I remember when I bought them for $15 plus free HAZMAT if I bought 10k or more.
