I'm a little slow on reporting back final load selected.  I went to Anniston a day early for my late October CMP Advanced Armorers class to get the Krag sighted in at 200 yds at the CMP Talladega range.  More than happy with the results, as can be seen in a picture of the electronic scoring monitor.  Too cool!!!

39.9 gr IMR 4350
220 gr Sierra RN
Remington brass
Winchester WLRM primer Seated to 3.000"
Av velocity is 1972.6 fps

Also stretched my Rem 700 308 with suppressor out to 600 yds.  It was a great day!

I highly recommend the Advanced Armorers Class to anyone that wants to know the ins and outs of an M1 Garand by building one from parts.  Head spacing a new barrel is no longer a mystery to me.  All it takes are the right tools and patience to not rush it.  Picked up a late 1943 Springfield with early 1944 barrel at the CMP store while there.  They are addictive.  So little range time..........
