My WW2 era M1 Carbine shoots nice groups, and is pretty accurate except it shoots high and right. I want to get it so that is accepts soft point ammo and is correctly zeroed.
I bought A LOT of PP soft point round nose .30 carbine ammo only to find that it wont feed into . FMJ ammo feeds well however.
I thought the culprit was the feed ramp so I polished it up nice and buffed out some dings so that it shines nice and seems very smooth, however, when I try to chamber the PPU SP RN ammo, it still doesn't chamber and upon removal of the round there is a gouge in the bottom of the bullet's lead tip where it is getting hung up.
All my mags are GI issue and the feed problems seem to happen with them all.
Can anyone suggest a solution?
