Reloading .30-06 for the M1 Garand

In this video I go over my process for reloading safe ammunition for M1 Garand. I am using Hornady's 10th edition reloading data, and the following recipe:
Bullet: 147 gr FMJ (full metal jacket), made by Xtreme bullets
Brass: Military-grade brass stamped either PS-81 (Poonsang Armory 1981), Lake City 1969
Powder: Hodgdon H335 @ 45 grains
Primers: Remington Large Rifle Primers

Please keep in mind that this is my personal load preference for the Garand, and a 2700 FPS round with H335 is considered a "safe" load. However if you have a desire to be more conservative with your load you can drop it down a couple of grains to give yourself piece of mind. Personally, I have not yet encountered any signs of over-pressure in any of the loads I've made in .30-06 for the Garand, but that doesn't mean you won't. As always, be safe. Start low and work your way up. Inspect your spent casings for signs of over-pressure (i.e., flattened out "pancake" looking primers, bolt imprinting on the case, warping of the bottom of the case, etc.). I'm explaining it here because I did an admittedly poor job of talking about "laddering up" in the video itself.

Thanks for watching!
