Using military ammo in hunting rifle for practise?

[duckdog1]

I have some 30-06 military grade ammo that I used in my M-1 Garand, would it be safe to use in my 30-06 hunting rifle (Ruger) for practise at the range, safe as in pressures? Its non-corrosive type, on the shell it says HXP 64
Thanks

I would practise shooting whatever ammo you plan to hunt with, that milsurp stuff may be ok, but it won't be the same as whatver hunting round you're going to use.

Go for it. Just before hunting season PRA twice with ammo you will be using for hunting and adjustsights accordingly.

I use lots of my milsurp rifles for hunting. I try to use or reload a hunting soft point that shoots the same as milsurp rounds so I don't have to resight when hunting. I shoot with mostly iron sights so slight differences in ammo groups is not critical, where changing bullet weight such as 150gr to 170gr would be.
