Hunting with your M14/M1A/M1 Garand

Brobee said:
This past year I had pulled apart a remington 700 and rebuilt her in the spirit of Jeff Cooper's scout rifle concept. It has a slightly bull-barreled contour and as such misses Cooper's weight requirement by a couple of ounces, however I was shocked at how much easier it was to both carry and stalk with. I was also wanting to test out my machine turned solid dangerous game styled copper bullets, and while they passed my preliminary feed-reliability-testing in the M14s (they have a massive flat front metplate and a significantly shorter OAL compared to regular spitzer), I had not run enough through that I was comfortable using them in my semi auto when playing for big game.
