Accurate 30 Carbine loads anyone?

[fatelvis]

It may be an oxymoron, but can anybody recommend an accurate 30 carbine load for an old carbine? Thanks in advance Gents!

110grain FMJ or JHP and Hogdon recommended load of W296 or H110. Coke can at 100 accurate. I have loaded cast bullets but it was before I wrote anything down. Probably pretty close to above loads.

Here's hoping that you've already read this but posting here insures that fact:

As a starting reference for an accurate handload of known properties, Winchester-
Western published a load for the .30 M1 Carbine using their WW296. This load has been
quite satisfactory over a long period of time. WW296 was developed specifically for
loading Carbine ammunition. The Winchester WW296 load duplicates original USGI
ammunition specifications. The exact Winchester load is:
Powder: Winchester WW296, 15.0 grains (considered maximum, do not exceed)
Bullet: Winchester 110 grain hollow soft point
Cases: WW used for data
Primers: WSR used for data

Specifications: 1980 feet per second at 36,000 C.U.P pressure in a 20” barrel. This
matches the USGI velocity spec of 1970 feet per second and is well under the 40,000
C.U.P. pressure spec.
The load has been observed to function in any carbine that would fire anything else. A
rare few seem to not work well with any load.

There is a sufficient amount of 'accuracy' information in the rest of this paper.

Note that the accuracy idea is predicated on the actual mechanical condition and features of your Carbine. The barrel obviously will have a definite impact on accuracy. The crown condition is important.

Read the rest of the article if you haven't already, it's pretty good reading.
