You must not have read what Phil Sharp, Julian Hatcher and George Nonte had to say about using the 200-grain bullet from the .30-40 Krag in .30-06 loads for the Garand. It worked pretty well in a Springfield or BAR [or the .30-06 Colombian Mauser I was shooting quite a bit in those days] but was a bit hard on Garands. Which was not a big deal up until the 1970s, when the cheerful armourers at Camp Perry would happily direct exchange a bent M1 op rod for a brand-new in-the-wrap one during the national matches. But the parts stocks that allowed that, like those days, are now long gone.
No I did not read that. Do you have a link?
I am looking to get some extra .30 & .30-06 in refurb Garands.
Thnx.
