Welcome aboard! You're gonna love it here! I reload for both 308 and 45ACP. I normally don't shoot reloads thru my M1A as the bullets need to have a cannelure groove, and have to be crimped tighter than for a bolt rifle. I shot some reloads out of my M1, and the second bullet loaded came out of the case and traveled about 3 inches down the barrel. The next bullet in the clip also popped out of the case and went into the receiver. Something didn't feel right, so I opened it up and it probably saved me and my rifle. I'm a little gunshy these days about reloads in the M1 or the M1A. Someday, I'll get around to experimenting some more. The 45's are a different animal, they don't have the force of the rifle's bolt when it slams home. Anyway, enjoy your time here. Scotty
