Last I checked CMP didn't have Garand ammo anymore. What commercially available ammo can I use?

Just pick ammo that is more on 308 level.
Federal 168gr SMK at 2700 fps Hornady 168gr ELD vintage match at 2710 fps Winchester 150gr silvertip at 2900 fps. |

Not currently up to speed but several major mfgs as recently as several years back made specific Garand ammo.
Ok , just checked Targetsports and they have specific Garand ammo from Winchester and Privi Partizan. Generally 147-150 gr bullets going 2700fps. Not just bullet weight and speed but with a powder that only creates a certain pressure curve. If you run the wrong stuff you risk bending of the op rod . Over the years I have come across lot of guys who claim they use all sort of regular commercial 30/06 ammo but the garrand specific loads are not all that hard to find so why risk damage? |

I’d buy Privi if I didn’t already have a ton of surplus.

AimSurplus recently had 500 rds of PPU for a touch over $1/round. Came in a new .50 cal can. My total price with shipping and taxes was around $590. Couldn't find anyone with a similar price and free shipping.
