Both guns do beast/best running wide open, so as a handloader my DE was a bit of a disappointment, because you just use the max load of H110/296 and be done with it. For the .50 that's 32.5 grains under a 325 JHP.

From a historical perspective, H110 was specifically created for the 30M1 carbine round used in WWII. Basically, (and NOT actually, but pretty damn close!) you fill up a 30M1 case with H110 and smush the bullet down on top of it.


I have had better results and performance using Lil-Gun for my 30 Carbine loads pushing a 110gr projectile. Extremely accurate out to 50 yards (furthest I shot it)


An m1 carbine can be accurate?

Well, compared to a Colt 45 Automatic, which was at the other choice going into the war, that's what the US Military thought. And for any shot over 50 yards, it would have taken one hell of an experienced shooter with a 45 to reliably score hits. With a 110 grain bullet doing 2,000 FPS and an 18" barrel, your average recruit stood at least a chance of hitting SOMETHING at 100 yards.
