[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3248987, member: 3099"] Common commercial .30-06 hunting ammo is loaded to higher pressure than the M2 ammo. But more importantly the pressure curve with newer powders can be bad on the old warhorse as the gas system was designed for a specific powder. There are several modern M1 Garand specific loads out there now. If you want to roll your own IMR-4895 or H4895 are THE powders to use, just keep it in the right charge weights. Oddly the same applies to the M14/M1A. [/QUOTE]
