That is close to the 2,000 fps for the same weight FMJ bullet loaded in military ammunition. 30 Carbine ammunition loaded with 110-grain bullets have a stated velocity of 1,990 fps. That’s not too bad for a Carbine with a trigger pull that has the creep and resistance of a jack handle.įactory. Five-shot groups ran a touch over an inch and produced 2-inch groups at 25 yards. The same charge of H-110 fired the 93-grain SPRN bullets slower at 2,106 fps. Velocity of the 93-grain FMJ bullets over 15.5 grains of H-110 was 2,241 fps. 30 Carbine cases with an overall cartridge length of 1.665 inches feed smoothly through the M1.

A handloader can vary some from that weight, but not from the round nose. When handloading cartridges for the M1, I pay attention to bullets, powders and reloading techniques to produce loads that cycle the Carbine’s action and provide top velocities from a small amount of powder with relatively good accuracy. This ammunition costs about 25 cents per round if made with steel cases, and 40 cents per shot for brass case cartridges. The majority of that old ammunition has been shot, but commercial ammunition is commonly available to feed many of the 6.2 million M1, M2 and M3 Carbines produced for the U.S.
