Where to find 30-06 Springfield for M1 Garand

[COTTON095]

I'm looking to find out where in Canada I can find some 30-06 Springfield ammo for the M1 Garand. It seems to be slim pickings out there these days and every store I've talked to says they're out and don't know when it will be back in stock.

Thanks

You will probably end up ordering the ammo from out of province. Look for 30-06 150gr FMJ. The major ammo companies have had it in their catalogues for many years. Ask you favourite store, don't just rely on what is showing on the websites.

Getting into reloading is an option.

Stone Horse: I am just getting into reloading actually, but I still have some equipment left to get.

maple_leaf_eh: So I can use any 30-06 150gr even if it doesn't say on the box made for M1 Garand?

No. You don’t know what powder is used in these other types of ammo and it may result in pressures that damage the gas system. If you use an adjustable gas plug you can.

If you install an adjustable gas plug you have a lot more flexability in ammo
