    Hornady does make ammo specifically for the M1. http://www.theammosource.com/index.p...oducts_id=2114

    I think the problem with some commercial ammo is when you start using 180gr bullets. They can be damaging to the op rod. I might be wrong though.

    It's the gas pressure created by commercial ammo that can be harmful to the op rod, for you reloaders, from Master PO recipes

    These loads only duplicate military spec. velocities for the given bullet weight, using commercial cases and powders. If you are using military cases, drop all charges by 2 grains.

    IMR 3031 - 48.0 grains

    AA2495 - 50.5 grains
    H4895 - 49.0 grains
    BLC-2 - 49.0 grains
    H335 - 49.0 grains

    165/168 grain FMJ, HP or SP bullets

    IMR 4895 - 47.0 grains

    Yes, you buy the ammo anywhere, why not buy some from Wanstalls when you order the rifle?

    Non M1 Factory ammo is high pressure and can bend your op rod
    There's Mil-spec, and then there's Gunnutz-spec.
    One is stringent, the other contains nuts.

    +1, and if you must shoot factory, stick to the 150g bullets, stay away from the heavier 165's, 180's and up.
    You know you are a real gunnut when you start practicing trigger control on power tools.

    WWJMBD? What Would John Moses Browning Do?

    Just picked mine up from the post office two days ago. I can't wait to take it to the range, but I have some reloading to do first!
    Thumbs up to Gary from wanstalls for the awesome communication (via email), your efforts got you a sale. (Could have sold it without trying because of the quality product, but it was better off being sold to me!)
