Recently acquired a 1944 Smith Corona. Barrel is marked 7-43. Figured to load it like I load for the M1 Garand since I figure that is what was used at the time. Plus the gun is almost 80 years old. Only planning to shoot at the range for now. Eyes have only worsened with age. Anyway any ideas on handloading. I am planning to use Lapua 30 06 brass. Have used it in M1 and it has really made a difference. Also planning to use 168 grain Sierra hpbt bullets. Any suggestions?
