[QUOTE="TerryP, post: 1347991, member: 1564"] The ideal ammo for the garand whether off the store shelf or reloads is going to be as close as possible to the old M-2 ball they were designed to shoot. Basically a 150 gr @ 2800fps. As already stated by several, bullets over 168 gr and slow burning powders such as 4350 are to be avoided. Especially combinations of both. Most commercial 150 gr ammo is only loaded to 2800fps and should be ok, some of the premium stuff is much hotter. Your favorite 06 ammo you might use to elk hunt, say Federal 180 Nosler that you shoot in your 700 Rem would be a bad idea in your garand.. Get your loading manual out, follow the recipe for a 150-168 gr load at 2800 and have fun! [/QUOTE]
