Guys,
On a bet I began playing with cast for the Garand a coupla weeks ago, already knowing that it "would" work ballistically/functionally (`been doing it with both gas-impinge/AR actions /50Beo and piston/M1A/Ruger's SR762 for quite a while).
What I didn't expect (and didn't see written up across the net) was that the two classic bullets -- Lyman's 200-210gr 311299 & 311284 -- would have an interference fit against the forward sides of the Garand's magazine well when pressing the clip down into it.
I can't get more than four rounds hand-fed into clip before it jams against the sides. That's it. Period. End of story. Fires, ejects, and shoots w/ accuracy... just no more than 4 rounds at a whack.
Anyone else try the Cast/Garand trick w/ successful full-clip fit?
