1chota Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 i purchased some Federal 30-06 150 gr. ball ammo. the boxes state 2900 FPS. is that going to be too hot for the Garand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpeltier Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 maybe. If you haven't installed a ported gas plug in your Garand, you might consider it. Best $40.00 you can spend on a Garand you want to shoot. Click on the picture in this link to direct you to the product. but read all the data if you haven't already. http://www.garandgear.com/m1-garand-ammunition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supertrunk Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I've run the GarandGear "ported" gas plug in mine for several years, no problems. I like that it isn't really a vented plug, nothing to plug up or malfunction. I still keep to 150gr bullets, mostly. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1chota Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 bought the Garand Gear gas plug. should be here soon. it will take the worry out of shooting that Federal load at 2900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
