I said "those guns were designed FOR A PRESSURE CURVE LIKE YOU WOULD GET WITH 4895 AND 150 GR. BULLETS."Where did you get the only for reloaders stuff?The original surplus 4895 powder marketed by Hodgdon after WW2 was what was used to load M-1 Garand and Browning 30 caliber machinegun ammo.When they load 30/06 ammo at the factory it is loaded with a pressure curve that will safely operate semi auto rifles.
I don't agree. I think thats a whole lot of heresay very little confirmed fact. I have talked before with engineers at the remington plant also, and he told me they use a powder that is compariable to 4350 for an 06 or 270. He wouldn't say what. I used to be concerned greatly with this stuff, and have discussed it with remington customer service, and they assured me, a modern 7400 is designed around modern high performance ammo.
I think most folks believe this because the M1 was loaded around the surplus fast powder. And then that legend kept going and going. No the 742 had some design flaws no doubt and will destroy itself sooner than later. But t
