The M1 is easy to load for. Find bullets in 150-170gr weights (not heavier or lighter), and start testing using IMR 4895 at about 47gr. A 150gr pill with 47gr 4895 under it very much approximate M2 Ball ammo.
I use Korean brass and Nosler 155gr HPBT match bullets over around 46gr 4895. Works quite well. |

Check any Garand forum. Garand loads are pretty much carved in stone because of the gas system / op rod operation. They're proven to work and won't blow up or wreck your rifle.
As to the Enfield, which one? P14, 1917, or SMLE? |

check 303british.com for some good .303 loads.
I have good luck with 150gr. spire point Hornady's, with 39gr. of Reloader 15 and CCI LR primers. Very accurate, not super-hot load. I also have good luck with 174gr. match kings in front of 43.5gr. of RE15. YMMV. |
