NH,

 Many moons ago I played with a carbine and reloaded for it with a Pacific tong tool. Someone,,Speer maybe, made a 100 grain 30 cal half jacket bullet called the 'Plinker" and it was my choice in the carbine. I don't remember the powder but it may have been 2400. Anyway, I missed loading powder in a case and seated a bullet. Fortunately, when chambered and fired, the primer moved the bullet just far enough out of the case so that following rounds would not chamber. I thought the rest of the loaded rounds were not sized enough. I discovered my error later and knocked the stuck bullet loose. It is somewhere in a box around here now. After reading this thread I remembered that close call. I am gazing at that carbine now. If you ever get the chance, manipulate the bolt of a carbine and watch how it locks up. Notice the play in it. Try to imagine that action trying to handle a hot load of pistol powder and a .32 bullet. Held up by someone's face. I'd like to think you'd ask about bullet choice as well.

dzrtram,

 It sounds like you're ready to go now. Long live those carbines. max

Hey Max, what are you talking about? I never said anything about using .32 caliber bullets in a m1 carbine. I have known that it is .30 caliber, because it is .30 M1 Carbine.
