The loads for the Garand have a particular powder charge that has a pressure curve suitable to the rifle. Of course these are produced in smaller runs than normal hunting ammo, and probably not at all right now.

I think the Norma 150 grain "JaktMatch" load for the .30-06 duplicates M2 ballistics, with improved quality over military/surplus ammo. Worth a try, if you can find it & don't mind paying for 'top shelf' ammo (I have a bolt action rifle that likes it ;^)...
