I just purchased an m1 Garand from a private seller and I am very confused as to what ammo I can safely shoot in it. Will any 3006 ammo that says Springfield after it work, or does it specifically have to say for the m1 Garand? Posted On: 7/16/2020 By: dan mihok

Thanks for reaching out, Dan! The M1 Garand is a military weapon that is specifically designed to fire M2 Ball, 30-06 150 grain ammo. Standard factory loaded 30-06 hunting cartridges may harm the Garand because they create gas volumes and port pressures that are too high for it. Some other commercial rounds are acceptable, but I believe it's better to play it safe. Since mil-surp Garand ammo has gotten exceedingly scarce these days, you'd be well-advised to stick to new production ammo that is specifically designed for the Garand – exactly like Prvi Partizan's right here. I hope this helps!
