Re: when and where was your !st encounter with the m1 garand

About a month ago, my son and I went through the CMP marksmanship program. I was amazed at how accurate the gun was-open sights at 200 yards and I shot a 395 out of 500. Nothing to write home about...

Re: who's reloading tonight?

Hey George,
How about you unload a few 30-40 krag rounds and do a range report? I'd love to hear more about how that rifle does and what load you've developed for it.

Re: fire pit

I'm glad you like 68c15, but frankly I'd rather have the space you and the others have. I'm more than happy sitting around any campfire, and a fire pit need be no more than a place to hold it.

I've reloaded it in a few calibers and it's done well. Not my favorite, not the bottom of the list either.

As for loaded ammo, seems to be well regarded.
