Was working the shooting line at Hunter Sight In today in Marysville next to this old geezer (he's older and GEEZIER than me!) and of course he "knows best" on all things reloading.

So he was scrutinizing and critiquing everyone's handloads and finally worked his way around to grilling me whether I ever loaded and what, if, how, why and etc etc. Of course my every answer was WRONG!

So, what are YOUR favorite loads, powder, dies and etc for your M1A's and M14's??

The more detail the better!

I found this article tonight. It says a bunch of the same stuff the geezer was telling me.

What kind/brand of sizing dies are you guys using? Do you have a Stoney Creek (Hornady) or LE johnson Head space set?
