Ammo for M1 Garand

[Kronjoe]

Anyone know of an online store that has 30-06 available for M1 Garand? Some people say any 150gr 30-06 is fine, but PPU and American Eagle make rounds specifically labelled M1 Garand to match the pressure of the M2 ball ammo from WWII. I haven't been able to find anywhere that has them in stock in almost 6 months

If anyone knows of anywhere, please let me know.

Thanks

I have a half dozen or so boxes of PPU M2 ball that'll be at the gun show in Carberry MB if you have access to a private jet.

Best if you can buy even a cheap single stage press and roll your own... sme is now true of 8mm and .303... no more cheap surplus to be had.

I reload for my Garand with IMR 4895 using 150gr bullets. I do not use factory rounds unless they are specifically made for the Garand. I don't want to risk a bent OP Rod.

I've this mentioned this in other threads, so I sound like a broken record, but get a Schuster adjustable gas plug and shoot whatever factory ammo you want without fear of damaging the operating system. They're not expensive, about $80 delivered if I remember. I handload but it's still nice to fine tune things.

I've got an RCBS 30'06 small base reloading die if you're interested in rolling your own.
