After some more testing I've found that 3031 out shoots 4895 in my new M1A. But I don't see it as a very popular powder in the M1A. Otis listed as being a fast enough powder for the gas system and doesn't require compression in military cases.

The rear end of the M1A receiver bolt right lug slot, located under the rear sight base cover, was extended 0.080 " to the rear to prevent possible damage to the bolt roller.
M1a Pelican Case, 001XXX to 002XXX Gray-Syracuse, Inc. becomes the casting supplier of M1A receivers. 002010 Receiver left side connector lock hole is still missing. I have an M1A Scout with composite stock and I am pondering putting it in a fiberglass stock. I have the stock itself but I am coming up short finding the right front ferrule for the fiberglass stock (it's bare).
M1a Pelican Case, How do I tell that this is for the fiberglass stock? Ferrule, Front, New Factory Original Now the next question is the handguard. M1As typically sell for $1000 on the low end (900 sometimes) up to about 2200 for a really nice Supermatch or LRB custom gun. (2400 buys a M21 these days). What’s with these people selling Prebans for 3400 and 4200 and 4500? Do people ever buy these?
Prebans don’t matter in my state for two... Although I have been reloading for decades I have only been reloading for a M1A a few months. Getting ready to try some different bullets and powders. I have read comments about loading too hot and possibly bending an operating rod.
