You will bend your slide rod using commercial 30’06 in a grand unless you put an adjustable gas plug on it. Use military grade ammo otherwise the powder burns at a different rate than commercial 30’06. You can get has plug at Midway $40-$50 range.
I have the adjustable gas plug, but I've yet to install it. All I've run thru it is a case of the Hornady AMax Garand. And I have around 500 rds of delinked surplus I picked up from http://www.ammogarand.com/
