30.06 Reloading
Quote from Reloader on February 6, 2013, 3:14 amI have a M1 Garand and a Ruger M77 Hawkeye in 30.06. I was wonder will the 3 die rifle set for 30.06 be suitable for both applications. I also am curious to know what powders are good for each application. I heard a medium burning powder is good for the Garand but whats better for a bolt action weapon? Any insight would be appreciated.

I am sure with tweaking the placement of spacers under each it would be possible to do I just didn't know if anyone else has tried yet?

Quote from Reloader on July 3, 2013, 4:18 pmThe 3 die set is fine for both. In the bolt action there is no need for a separate crimp, but no compelling reason to remove it for the bolt gun. I 4895, H-4895, I 4064 are the only powder I am currently comfortable with in a Garand. Slower powders will give you another 100-150 FPS velocity in the bolt gun, but their use in the Garand will result in bending the op-rod.
