Jerry Miculek isn’t actually human, so you need to reset your bar

Dryfire reloads will make you as good as you'll get. Miculak dryfires like it's 'literally' his job.
You're also examining your hits on target in the video instead of focusing on what you're actually doing. Don't drop the gun so dramatically. Then just the usuals of trigger prep and firing as soon as you're back on target. |

Dunno. Assuming that’s OP in the video, you’re already about 10 seconds faster than me. I would hope that if I was actually firing in war, I’d not worry about my thumb and just jam it and go. But it’s just a range toy for me. So I take my time and care.

On the M1 you need to do a lot of work to it to speed up reloads. Lighter recoil spring, smaller gas port, advance timing, polishing parts, chromed clips and beveling the receiver. Careful though, too much work and you will get early clip ejection.
Once you get the rifle tuned, practice loading without removing from your shoulder. Count your rounds and don’t wait to hear the ping to start the reload. Use clip pouches that face the top out from your body. Cup the clip when you grab it rather than pinch the sides. Once you get the equipment tuned and technique improved you should get down to almost 1.5 second reloads. |

Nice for preventing Garand thumb but also somewhat weird. No matter how far you stuff the clip in the bolt won’t fly forward without a shove. I mean magazine? |

OP, be careful using that Garand for self defense.
If you are ever subject to a cartel hit, or ATF raid, and GD teaches both are common, when the bad guys hear the “ping” they will rush you. You’ll end up dead for sure. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The proper way to load a Garand is to use the heal of your right hand on the op lever to hold the bolt back while your thumb is in the action. It is unnecessary to block the op rod when loading a clip. I demonstrate this in my M1 class. The bolt can’t come forward as long as you are pushing down on the clip. As you release pressure, there is no room for your thumb in front of the bolt because it strips a round off on rifles with smooth clips and strong springs. A large portion of rifles can’t strip the round because you hang it up when inserting the clip. That is when the forward bump is needed. There is a risk of catching a thumb with single loading. When single loading you have to pull the op rod back to release it and should be in control of it as you use your finger to depress the follower. Those that get their thumb caught are usually playing with an unloaded rifle or trying to clean the rifle. If you fail to fully lock the op rod back, it will release like a mouse trap if you touch the follower. The op rod should always be pulled fully to the rear with substantial intent force to ensure it properly catches. |
