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.
Philip B. Sharpe's in his essay "And the angels sing" IIRC, which I believe appears in his Complete Guide to Handloading; Hatcher in either Hatcher's Notebook or his Book of the Garand relating to the M1's development, which was of course, dependent on it's ability to digest both the massive stocks of .30 M1 ammo left over from WWI and the newer [1926] Ordnance Corps developed .30 M1 Ball cartridge using a 174-grain bullet. George Nonte mentioned reloading of .30-06 with bullets from Krag ammo in one of his reloading books from the 1970s and a couple of articles in Shooting Times, as well as several conversations I had with him prior to his death in 1979; I'd really have to dig to find the particular issues. But 200-grain loads for the Garand were not at all uncommon *back in the days,* but NOT using load data anywhere near those of the bullets in the more usual 150-grain to 173-grain range.
