M14 loads

[chkunz]

40.5 or 41.5 gr of H-4895 or IMR-4895 with any 168 gr bullet.

41 grains of IMR 4895, 168 SMK, Winchester or Remington primer and Lake City brass was the gold standard for years (decades). Full length size, preferably with a small base die and bump the shoulder a minimum of 0.003 then scrap the brass after three reloadings. No thin cup primers like federal 210M and let the bolt chamber the round from the magazine. Book keep no wind zeros for leg matches and center the group.

 

[D-4297]

42.2 - 42.6gr of 4064 with a 168 or 175gr bullet . Try .003-.004 neck interference .
