You’re right...30.06 isn’t scarce...
Matter of fact, I bought several boxes of 185 g soft points at a gun show.
But I keep reading from the Garand folks that some of the “commercial” ammo isn’t so terrific for the Garand...
[If any or you Gunny’s who’ve shot/seen shot a lot of Garands know different, I’d really like to know it.]
That the Garand should be fed 150 grains or less and that some of the modern powders create a different gas pressure than is optimum for the Garand.
So I found some American Eagle FMJ 150g ammo, but I still think I paid too much. And I’m really looking to load up on the stuff.
Well, I have shot some 150 soft point in my garand and it shoots about the same spot as ball ammo, but I guess commercial ammo is discouraged. I am not sure the tech reason why. Let’s find out.
Squantos, can you help here? Who else on here might know?
